Between 8 and 9 tonight residents of dublin are being asked to join a symbolic gesture that is being repeated around the world, to turn your lights out for one hour to help draw attention to climate change. The city council is also participating and government buildings and non essential lighting in Dublin City will be turned off for the hour.

While I doubt many Irish people will participate it is still a good cause. Im currently writing this in the dark but most of the other apartments still have heir lights on. It would be easy to give in to the cynicism of people and just not bother, but the whole point of this is that every one can make a difference. Find out more at the Earth Hour website. They will be reporting on how much energy was saved so it will be interesting to see just how much one hour of artificial light actually makes up.
