    Earth Hour

    We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors… we borrow it from our children. ~ David Brower ~ Don’t forget to turn off your lights for one hour this evening beginning at 8:30 p.m. local time.   Have a late evening candlelight dinner…..sit outside (weather permitting) and gaze at the night sky…..spend the time with family, friends and loved ones.  You will be surprised at how quickly the time will pass and you may even continue into the night without lights.  Alone we are one….together we are many.
