Since we’d marked the calendar and set an alarm, we were ready this year for Earth Hour 2009. We turned off all the lights outside the house. We shut down the laptops, router, printer, UPS, and electronics and then turned off the lights, fan, and everything else. All we left on were the appliances (furnace, […]
Last year we turned off all our lights and the computers and everything we could find in the house except some appliances. We cranked up our wind-up radio and our wind-up LED Camp light and some candles and listened to music and read. It wasn’t as quiet as the time when a hurricane blew through […]
