Fantastic post! Super fun to see what everyone else was doing!
ReplyDeleteSO FUN! The party was a great success (we had a few more people then we expected & it turned into more of a fun danceparty then just a dinner!) It was great. We're going to have another one next month!!!! :)
ReplyDeletegreat post! i had a great earth hour! i'm trying to celebrate earth hour more and more every day possible- making sure lights are only used when needed and enjoying natural light. it was cloudy by my home so i didn't see many stars. but i still enjoyed earth hour and the outdoors.
ReplyDeletegreat to see so many people involved! I hope this inspires more people to turn the lights off on other days too!
ReplyDeleteWow great turn out!

I would have taken my telescope to the science museum's Earth Hour fair, if it had been clear. As it was, the boy and I went for a walk in the dark. <3
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a post, rr :) As you know, I was at a concert that evening... but then again, everything at home WAS turned off while we were out! Terrific to see all the involvement here.
