Earth Hour resulted in modest success in Nova Scotia. I am pleased. I could only see one neighbour from my window, and wasn’t sure how many people were observing it around here.
It was nice. I turned off everything except my answering machine, because I would have lost the saved messages if I unplugged it. It was very quiet, and dark, but I didn’t mind. I can’t say I learned a lot, or that it’s encouraging me to change my power consumption habits, but I guess I like the idea of becoming more aware of power usage along with people around the world.
My eyes don’t focus too well in low light, though. I need more than a handful of tea lights to read or knit by comfortably…
