I am sitting in the dark using only battery power from my laptop. Though I am a few minutes tardy, I am doing it for Earth Hour.  Earlier this week, I had read either in USA Today or Readers Digest about Earth Hour - an hour where everyone turns off their lights for one hour. I had forgotten about it until I received an email from professional speaker friend Karyn Buxman. I was reminded again when I signed unto to Google  as they were even dark (an all black background).

Often when I walk, I pick up trash in my neighborhood or the woods near my house. I most confess, I have often questioned what difference picking up a few pieces of trash makes. I thought the same thing when I first heard about Earth Watch. Watch the You Tube and you can see what difference one person can make. Someone had this idea after all. Let there be light, but only when we need it. I kind of like doing it (writing that is) in the dark.
