We Joined Earth Hour

MY girlfriend and I rode a bus home, from 7:30 or maybe a little past that, and we arrived home at around 8:35 because the stop is a good 10 minutes walk from our apartment.

When we opened our door we saw it was all dark, and we were greeted by the kid on the other door, saying "It's Earth Hour".

And so we remembered. I totally forgot about it. Even though Coldplay was playing a few miles from US. And Coldplay's concert was supposedly powered by Wind Turbines. How 'cool' is that! :)

I registered for the Earth Hour as well. My macbook pro was already turned off, so we just hurried to her macbook. Lit some candles, unplugged our electronics, turned off our A/C and opened our windows. We're glad it is not summer yet. The MidEast summer.

We are glad to be part of the event, though it looks as if most people in our area either did not know about it or did not care. Cos when we opened our windows, other people's apartments are well lit. Well.

It was a bit sad. We are just 5 people there. But looking at there advert reassured us, that even if it was just 5 of us doing our share, across the globe, little number added up to thousands of people, maybe even millions. :)

They had nice adverts too, which you can find in youtube.

Oh it is work day again. Are you going on a vacation? Looking for a holiday?
