Ok, so is that 830 at night in each time zone or is it differing for each time zone so it is at exactly the same time all over the country? Or will it be one hour at a time for twenty four hours as it will be day time in Europe, etc. when we do it over here?
ReplyDeleteI remember this last year. Someone posted pictures of Al Gore's ginormous mansion during 'Earth Hour' and they were all over the internet. He had indoor lights/TV/computers on, outdoor lights lighting trees outside of his house, lights that illuminate his driveway, etc. All were on! Hilarious! Now THAT's an inconvenient truth! Ha ha ha!
I believe, but don't quote me, that "earth hour" is not going to be the exact same hour all over the world. Meaning, it's already occurring in other countries.
ReplyDeleteI highly respect Al Gore and can only attribute last year's lighting expo at his mansion to be him not having any idea of the special day or a possible absence from his property that day.
Nonetheless, I wouldn't put it past anyone...unfortunately. I'm looking at tomorrow as being more of a moment in time where people take a leave of the ordinary (watching tv for me) by turning things off for a moment....and experiencing either a wonderful silence or the voices of the ones we love.
