Earth Hour

[Ankh]

Dear brothers and sisters,

I would like to remind you that tomorrow on March 26th, between 20:30 and 21:30 local time, it is annual Earth Hour. A 60 minutes event to show a worldwide compassion for our Gaia by turning off the lights. For more information:

[EDIT: As we are approaching Earth Hour for 2012, I re-named this thread to Earth Hour only, instead of as it was before - Earth Hour 2011]

Shouldn't every hour be Earth hour? We should honor and respect Gaia for as long as we're here, and I'm sure she deserves more than one hour of worship!

[3DMonkey]

She ought to worship me. I'm the Creator.

Apologies. I totally thought I was at treehuggers.

Well if you can live without using any electricity for more than an hour, then hey! I am cheering for you. Otherwise, you can do stuff like Gaia meditations, or something that resonates with you. I believe that Gaia appreciates every effort offered to her in love and light.

what if you need to go to the bathroom?

[Meerie]

what if you need to go to the bathroom?

you can dedicate that action to Gaia as well.
I remember, I once saw a homeless man in the street walking up to a tree and peeing against it. And while he did so, he said in a loud voice that his urine was nourishing the earth and tree.
He was right of course.
Still, it is forbidden to pee in public in the streets

[Oceania]

i kinda meant i need to see to poop

Oh, well I don't "like" that they are mutilating your kitties' tree, but I do like that you got a good tree hug recently!

You could hug your kittes for me, I'd really like that!

One day to go until Earth Hour 2012: Saturday March 31, 8:30PM, local time.

Earth Hour on Facebook

[Diana]

I am finding the FB page really irritating. I have been trying to find out what 8:30 pm means--which time zone?

Ankh, you say local time; is that Sweden time?

[Ankh]

Ok, tonight is the night, folks!

This is the biggest arena in Stockholm, seen from many areas of our city:



My landlord and our local food store will also be participating. This is what Earth Hour wrote:

"Another record! Earth Hour 2012 expected in 150 countries and territories and 6032 cities and towns. Where are you joining us from this year?"

Personally I am going be home with my little daughter. We are going to light the candles and incense, and read bed time stories in the couch for a whole hour.

Hey Diana, it is local time for each country, or time zone. In short, your local 08:30 PM time. =)

[Diana]

Oh! Thank you Ankh.

15 days to go.

Saturday March 23 at 8:30 PM your local time.

As I see things on the world map... it is mostly East-side States taking this effort warmly.

Here in Europe there doesn't seem to be that much awareness (to my knowledge!)

Go U.S.A.! Do your bit as best you can in these strangely biblical times!

Peace and Love

Today is the day!

I am going to be home during this hour together with my daughter and her friend, who is going to sleep over tonight at our place. We are going to turn off all the lights and unplug all the electrical and technological devices (even my beloved iPhone/iRa is going to be blessed with some "sleep" during this hour :p). We are going to have snacks and goodies and read/tell stories as long as possible, even if it will be longer than an hour.

I'm also thinking to do a little Gaia meditation with the girls at the beginning and end of this hour, like saying a little, short prayer perhaps? I'll think about it... It is a perfect opportunity to share the love of the Creator with children though...

11 hours to go!

[Ankh]

And here we go again:

[Ankh]

This year I am going to begin and end this event with a prayer to the Creator and our Gaia.

My daughter will be having a friend over, who will probably stay with us over the night.

It's going to be so fun!

[Ankh]

I thought this was beautiful:



Because it's not about what country you're from, it's about what PLANET you're from.

It's a fantastic spring day here in Stockholm. We are going to barbeque first with our best friends in their beatiful, sunny garden, and in the evening I am going to take the kids over to my place.

We are first going to prepare all the snacks and goodies to eat, light the candles and incense, and then switch off all the lights. Then I am going to say a prayer for Gaia, and we will meditate as long as kids will be able (they're seven). And then we are going to tell or read stories, for as long as it is fun for them, but of course at least one hour. And I will finish this with a prayer too.
