Climate Change is so important for the future generations.
We were in the dark for 1 hour. To make this dog related, Opal and Ursa slept through it while we sat and walked around with flash-lights.

We forgot about it though we did sort of participate. Lights off while listening to Randy Bachman's CBC show Vinyl Tap (the theme was falsetto voice). Fitzi on the couch between us, Lucy on the top of the couch behind us, Achilles on his cushy dog bod.

Well, it takes all kinds of people to make a community. It takes two sides to have a conversation. To whit... I'm a fan of electricity. Let me explain.
As Hurricane Katrina rolled toward the Gulf Coast 13 years ago, local hospitals evacuated as many patients as possible. But at University Hospital in New Orleans, the sickest patients were stuck, and a brave staff of nurses, doctors, pharmacists and others elected to stay with them. They suffered through almost a week of patient care without power. Theirs was a story of incredible courage and perseverance. They actually kept some patients alive, and in the end, hauled bed-fast patients up stairs to the roof when a big Chinook Helicopter was finally able to reach them. (How they got the roof cleared so the big bird could land, was a story unto itself.)
The saddest part about the suffering in Venezuela are the stories of the privations patients suffer and how many of them die. Power is episodic. No one can survive who needs a ventilator or an incubator. Sterilization is not possible most of the time.
Maybe you've seen pictures taken from space of the Korean Peninsula at dark. One side of the DMZ is awash in light. The other is cold and dark. Some day, when the secrecy is rolled back and the true story of North Korea is revealed, we may have a deeper appreciation of how electricity (and Western prosperity) saves lives and reduces suffering. We'll also probably find out how badly the environment in N. Korea has suffered when people are too poor to care for it.
So, here's to abundant, cheap electricity and the blessings it produces as measured in human caring, compassion, prosperity and liberty.

No need to explain, I'm old and got it a long time ago. I'm a fan electricity, too, but it was just 1 hour to support our beautiful (and sometimes troubled) Earth, where now 92 countries and regions give their support.I'm a fan of electricity. Let me explain.
92 Countries to participate in Earth Hour92 countries and regions around the world have now made the pledge for Earth Hour to show the world what can be done to fight climate change, with Honduras the latest nation to have official Earth Hour recognition.
There will always be tragedy, hardship and sadness among us, anything otherwise would be a perfect world/earth.
Thanks for caring.
DArn forgot. We do try to conserve all the time anyway though. Every time we came back from a canoe trip we'd marvel about simply flipping a little switch to get light. Same for water. My grandparents had neither in their house though the barn was wired and had water; cows came first.
