Every Hour is Earth Hour Here

Have you heard about Earth Hour? Are you going to participate? Earth Hour takes place tomorrow night: Saturday, March 28th from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Organizers are asking people to turn off their lights for that one hour to show support for the environment and for the future of the planet.

Almost 3,000 cities across the globe are participating. Landmarks like the Las Vegas Strip, the Empire State Building, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris will turn off their lights for that 60-minute period. People, organizations, and governments in over 80 countries are taking part.

When reading and hearing about Earth Hour, I've noticed most of the attention has been focused on the big cities and major monuments that are on board. Many people are wondering what a city will look like at night without any lights turned on. In fact, a number of web sites are encouraging people to submit photos they take Saturday night.

I'm certain the experience tomorrow night in major cities will be fantastic. But when you're in the Fairystone area---in the woods, in a cabin---every nighttime hour is Earth Hour. All 12 months, all 52 weeks, all 365 nights. The area is beautiful during the day but there is no place like it at night. Out the cabin door, across the porch, down the stairs, a few steps forward, look up, and...Wow!

Many people will get a glimpse of that tomorrow night in various cities across the world. If they want to see it all night, any night of the year, they should visit the Fairystone area. Enjoy!
