The hotel did a wonderful job of promoting and participating in it - all lights were shut off from 8.30pm, and at 11pm when I left the dinner they were still out! They had lined the halls and restaurants and the tables in our Ballroom Hall with candles; it looked magnificent and the atmosphere was wonderful. Normally Earth Hour is spent at home and I love turning off *everything* and then sit around enjoying the silence. I think it would be wonderful to have an "earth hour" every week!<BR/>My partner wouldnt be so keen, though - he likes constant "background noise", and starts to get a bit antsy after 15 minutes or so! Haha.<BR/>~S.xo.sorcha.oxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431135816635778553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-60306856384401477922009-03-29T22:35:00.000+11:002009-03-29T22:35:00.000+11:00Sounds like a lovely evening!

I actually hid our TV as a joke once - it stayed hidden for 2 weeks. We had so much more real time. I keep on threatening to hide it for good : )<BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>TriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-46815864500826623712009-03-29T20:47:00.000+11:002009-03-29T20:47:00.000+11:00We did earth hour as well and turned everything of...We did earth hour as well and turned everything off at the mains because we like the silence of no buzzing electrical gizmos. We lit a candle and because our little one was already asleep we talked! This was instead of sitting either side of the room at our desks working. We talked for a hour....I think they might need to rename earth hour to reconnect hour lol I loved it and am thinking I might need to introduce a weekly "earth hour" as I feel it would be so good for our family relationships.CAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722605415309678068noreply@blogger.com
