Chris I did not know about Earth Hour. Was that a Canadian thing because I didn't hear of it here.

-Great tips

Hi Chris - My energy usage was minimized during Earth Hour.  However, the Toronto Star stated in today's paper that the energy savings this year was less than last year which had been less than the previous year.

Kim, Earth Hour started in Australia in 1997, more than 125 countries now participate in it to raise awareness.

Good for you Marc, hopefully it will lead to positive permanent change =)

Hi Chris thanks for the insightful post. Will be checking these sites out especially the ones with regards to driving and cars!  Marc's report here on the savings during earth hour was disappointing.

I sure did, Chris ... not an easy task sitting along in the dark when one is (dare I say it) afraid of the dark (gasp !!).

Great resources listed here.  Thank you.

Good morning Chris, I like the article about saving money while going green. Many people seem to need a monetary incentive to do the right thing.

Chris,

 

This is a great list. Bviously, this is something that you take seriously.

Al and Peggy, unfortunately until people feel this goal is personal, they really won't be invested in it...

Our planet thanks you Sandi =)

Malcolm, what we are really trading is a little "convenience" for saving money and the planet!

Brian, like most people, I started by small steps, and I am still far from "perfect", but I am making more better choices =)
