Earth Hour

I just realized with a jolt that tomorrow is March 29th - EARTH HOUR! Sadly, I have become all to reliant on modern technology to tell me whether I am coming or going these days, but at least, thanks to it, I won't be missing this important event. We were invited by some friends for an Earth Hour "Love In" but I think I've mentioned previously that triplets do kinda complicate things a little. So dear Mad, while I wish I was there in person, I'll be there in spirit for sure.
My second best way to spend Earth Hour you ask? Kick back with a gorgeous bottle of (organic) wine, and enjoy it with Ecopapa by candlelight. The kids should be in bed by 7:30pm which will leave plenty of time to turn off everything in the house, get in my comfies (no I didn't say friskies ;)), and light the candles. Ahhh, I feel more relaxed (and green!) just thinking about it.

Zerofootprint has a very cool carbon calculator that enables Earth Hour participants to measure their carbon footprint and make ongoing changes to their individual lifestyles in a bid to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through Zerofootprint you can also purchase some ISO certified carbon offset credits. Hmmmm, something to ponder while I'll be having that glass of wine.

So what are you doing during Earth Hour?
