Earth Hour

Me and a couple of my friends went down town in my city last night for an event called earth hour. We had a big concert had some people come by and at 8.30 all the lights in the city went out and for 1 hour we were asked to keep the lights off.

Now I am an outdoors person and I like to go off in the night into a field and just stare at the stars.

Last night was the first time in a long time even though it was just for one hour there was no light pollution.

Light Pollution is : Illumination of the night sky by electric lights, as in an urban area, that interferes with astronomical observation.
This bugs me because it interferes with my star gazing.

I'm sorry I got a bit off topic again. What I was making this post for was that I wanted everyone to try this. You don't have to make a big deal out of it but as a family for one hour a night, or week, or month turn off all (or at least most) of your lights, this will conserve electricity as well as help the environment.

Somethings to try:
Light some candles and use those for lights.
Play board games instead of video games.
Read a book instead of watching a movie.

Just little things like this could help.

A little thing here and their can add up. Tell your friends and get other people into this.

Fly on. Live free,
