Today, at locations around the world, cities and citizens are shutting off lights from 8 to 9 p.m. local time to show support for energy conservation. Of course, Earth Hour is only a small gesture, but we have to start somewhere -- and we should have started long ago.The event began last year in Sydney, Australia, and has now spread to a number of places around the world, including more than 100 cities in North America. Though Boston is not one of those, we can all do our part as individuals to take this symbolic action and to pledge that it will be the start of a serious effort to shrink the carbon footprint for each of us.

The date for honoring 'Earth Hour', 29MAR, is our daughter's birthday. We will honor 'Earth Hour' every year by using candles on her cake.
