Oh please do make sure you have JAVA installed, otherwise it wont work.
Started in Sydney, Australia in 2007, Earth Hour quickly grew into a global observance. More than 1,000 cities in over 80 countries observed Earth Hour 2009 on Saturday March 28th, as homes, office towers and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour starting at 8.30 pm local time to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions. Collected here are a series of before-and-after photographs - which (starting with the second one below) will fade between "on" and "off" when clicked. Let me state that again, since I know not everyone reads the whole intro here - starting with image #2 below, click on the image to see an animated fade between "on" and "off". This effect requires javascript to be enabled.

QUIET IS MIGHT. SOLITUDE IS STRENGTH. INTROVERSION IS POWER.

- We don't all get to have all things. I have been given more than most, not as much as others.
I enjoy the gifts that I have, I share what I can, and try not to begrudge others for having things that I don't have.

Pretty cool! But, one would think that mother Earth would rate longer than one hour !?![]()
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.


Please, it's not like the generators weren't running because they turned out a few lights, they should ahve a national blackout hour where coal/diesel burning Utilities cut power for an hour or 2 that would be an impact......Vegas didn't help shit cause they are running on Hydro-Electric Dam power anyhow.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
