Did you turn out your lights for Earth Hour? Lots of people let their homes go dark between 8 and 9 pm tonight, both to save energy and to join in an enviro act of solidarity.

How did you celebrate this lights-out time? I hung out with a couple friends eating girl scout cookies, drinking wine, and playing a dice game that, due to the wine, I've already forgetten the name of --

One downer side of Earth Hour -- It's fun, but it doesn't make for the best pics! The evening was less dark and gloomy than it looks in the picture -- even if I lost said dice game!

Lotsa people are already blogging 'bout their Earth Hour experience. Blogian in Armenia texted friends “Happy Earth Hour.” Tracy and Patrick of West Seattle Blog "turned off everything but the computers," though the rest of Seattle was sadly brighter than dark. Essential Keystrokes kinda missed it -- but at least had all non-essential lights off.

Had fun during Earth Hour? Share the deets of your celebration in the comments!

I thought it was just symbolism, and pretty pale symbolism at that. If people would have used that hour to switch all their lightbulbs to CFs, THAT would have had me evangelizing in the streets.

Lit the way last evening as all lights were out with a roaring fire threw on french baguette wrapped in foil heated about 2 minutes; sat around spreading nutella on hot baguette coupled with fresh strawberries. Very fun!
