Earth Hour is Tomorrow, March 28/09

Earth Hour is just over 24 hours away now and I wish to share WWF's (World Wildlife Federation) top 25 things to do on March 28, 2009 from 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm.

Here are some ideas for how to spend the hour:

1. Attend local Earth Hour events - or organize one. Add your event, or get details on events near you at Events.EarthHourCanada.org.
2.Go outside and look at the stars.
3.Find a great viewing spot to see your town or city go dark at 8:30 p.m.

7.Gather your family or friends for a candle-lit dinner.
