Thanks for this great post, just to let you know that in Tel Aviv, Israel, the power-off hour went great, some 80% of all apt turned electricity off and the city looked dark. I was walking in HaYarkon park and it was dark as well, felt like I was walking in a forest…I hope next year 100% will participate…see ya all in Israel…

It’s so great to see this movement being taken up by cities and people around the globe. As an Aussie, it makes me very proud! Next steps are to have move people involved, and to have their new actions become habits that last for longer than one hour each year.

And thanks for DA’s prompt to promote this through the blogsphere.

T, Dutch, Barbara glad to hear you are in!

Thank you for reminding me. I too remember the people with the candles. At that time there was very little info and though I knew what the candles meant it had more entertainment value than message. This year will be different for many.

i remember the people standing on the corners with candles. it was not a very nice evening and you had to huddle in a corner to keep out of the wind.

this year i will be armed with my candle!

I too really admire this post. It’s great to see people’s eyes opening. Hopefully the green movement will just continue to blossom.

I live in NYC, so I see plenty of people with seemingly zero concern for their environment….I found this website today where you can get eco-friendly products (mainly organic hemp bags and SIGG water bottles). http://www.ecobags.com/
I think people need to start on these small personal levels (like getting a recycled bag, or shutting their car engine off) in order to “infect” others with the same behaviors…especially their children who will follow by example…anyway…I don’t see NYC on the list of cities for earthhour…
