Go dark for a good cause
Earth Hour wants the world to turn off its lights

Have you heard about Earth Hour? Organized by the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour is one hour during the last Saturday of March (that'd be tomorrow) where everyone is supposed to shut off all of their non-essential lights and appliances. The aim to raise awareness about global warming and the action that needs to take place to change our climate.

This year's Earth Hour will take place at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow. But if you absolutely need to have the lights on during that time, I say make the effort to go dark for an hour any time during the day. My suggestion is to stay in bed an extra hour tomorrow morning (and if the snow storm hits, what else do you have to do?).
