This year is the 10th anniversary since Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Now it is a global community action event, where participants switch off their lights for one hour to show their care for our world's environment and concern about climate change.
This year Earth Hour is taking place tonight, 25th March, starting at 8.30pm GMT. Our Earth Hour is never just 60 minutes long - it usually stretches until bedtime (which the girls insist on having later and later each year) so, this year, we'll probably have an Earth Hour lasting at least 180 minutes!
We've been taking part in Earth Hour every year since 2010, which was the fourth year it took place. December was just 4 years old and has very fond memories of gazing up at the Full Moon through our conservatory roof.
As she (and June) have grown our - or rather, their - plans have become more detailed. This year, after sunset, December wants to have a go at viewing the Orion Nebula before we eat our made-at-home fish and chip supper (cooked before 'lights out') and play Star Wars Monopoly by candlelight. I'm planning on us eating before we sit down to play, as I'm quite sure that my darling husband would not want greasy marks on Yoda or the Milennium Falcon!
It's really easy to join in and doesn't have to cost you a single penny - see the link further up this page.
