Earth Seizes the Spotlight Saturday Night
I'm eagerly awaiting the 8 o'clock hour of this Saturday evening, which has been dubbed Earth Hour, as I recently reported. The dimming of lights for one hour in more than two dozen cities around the world is an elegant protest against wasted energy and light.
I welcome after-the-fact reports and comments from readers in all participating cities. What was your Earth Hour like?

Earth Hour
We're all so glad you reported earlier that it was dubbed "Earth Hour". Otherwise no one would have known about it. Keep up the "good" work. Looks like you scooped 'em all !!

Earth Hour
Earth Hour was a great success in Homer Glen! So many resident and businesses participated - it was wonderful! In a local newspaper, one local business owner was asked why they participated in Earth Hour and the answer was, because "we care". In addition, Homer Glen - and Chicago - got the great opportunity to see the International Space Station cross the sky smack dab in the middle of Earth Hour. That was like the icing on the cake. As was said on the Earth Hour website, one person can make a difference and millions of us working together can change the world.
