turn off the lights...

It's Earth Hour. I am sitting at my dining room table, blogging by candle light. I forgot how much I love candle light. When I was in university I used to study by candle light. Well not completely. The small desk lamp would be on, but other than that, just candles. There is something warm, soothing and peaceful about candle light.


I'll be interested to see the stats on Earth Hour and if the WWF feels that they have achieved what they wanted with this initiative. Personally , I'm generally pretty conscious about turning the lights off when leaving a room, but this hour has really got me thinking about what more I can do to conserve energy. I guess that's the idea with this little experiment, isn't it.

change the world...

I'm loving the new ad from the World Wildlife Fund Canada!



I think it's excellent. It's a great reminder of the the things that we used to do that we now know are not safe. It really gets you thinking about the effect our actions have not only on ourselves but the entire planet. The print ads are great too. And the WWF website is full of great information and suggestions on what we as individuals can do to help. I don't want to get too political here but seriously, we screwed up the planet. Shouldn't we be fixing it?
