Celebrate Earth Hour at 8.30pm this Saturday 31st March by reading a book by candlelight.
Turn off the power, light some candles and settle down for a cosy night in with your favourite author - just like more than one billion other people in 135 countries around the world. Turn off your lights and electricity powered appliances from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 31st March 2012 to help raise awareness for environmental issues.

I dont have any candles, but does a Coleman lantern count?

I'll be in Rockford. If we shut the lights off early, the junkies will assume that we're dead or fled and start looting the place.

We were in a restaurant and I asked them to turn the lights off but they said no. I think they should have got organised and they could have had candlelight dinners for everybody.

I forgot all about it. But I only had my little 60 watt TV and a low wattage light on. Please dont beat me up.

Wish I'd thought of that. We were on our front verandah surrounded by candles so next day I had to scrape wax off the wooden decking. Apart from that, it was a mellow night.
