What better way to observe the tenth anniversary of Earth Hour than with a candlelight dinner?
Saturday, March 25th lights around the world will be turned off for one hour from 8:30-9:30pm. For your friends who may be a little dim, that doesn't mean all at once, but as each city arrives at 8:30pm. lights will be dimmed.
A decade ago, the World Wildlife Fund started Earth Hour as a way to raise awareness of climate change, and energy consumption. Last year, more than 178 countries turned out the lights. Around the world, the lights on 350 major landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace, were turned off.
Rather than sit in the dark, have dinner or dessert by candlelight. Earth Hour may be a time to rediscover the simple pleasure of candlelight.

I don't think I have ever experienced Earth Hour or its anniversary. Though, I have been without lights or electricity during a hurricane. I think it is a great idea. Thanks Ruth!
