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 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.

Thinking Harder

This blog is the public workshop of U.S. News writer and editor Ben Harder. In articles published in the magazine, he has covered a range of sciences, including medicine, human behavior, prehistory, and evolution. Here, he can explore those and other scientific fields more fully and more informally than is possible in print. He'll share whatever seems noteworthy or potentially useful, and he invites readers to do the same.

WTOP Audio
On Feb. 24, 2008, Ben discussed the link between artificial light and cancer on WTOP radio. Listen to the interview at WTOP News. He again talked about light pollution on WTOP on March 22, exploring its environmental effects.
