A moment of silence for the drowning polar bears

March 31, 2007

Today, between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., people and businesses across Sydney, Australia are turning off all their lights and unplugging all their electronics to show they’re serious about climate change. It’s called Earth Hour, and it’s something the whole world should be doing — I’m going to, albeit on EST (and yes, even my beloved computer will be forced to hold its breath for a bit). Wanna join me?

I’m parched just thinking about this (Day 31)…

March 31, 2007

humidifierBut it’s time. I’m unplugging my humidifier and putting it away until Day 366 — thus saving electricity and water (granted, not a lot of either, but it’s something). Yet again, it’s a move that will be easy enough now but surely kill me come January ‘08 when Canadian Winter descends once more. Maybe global warming will make it a mild one, at least … my bone-dry fingers are crossed!
