The buzz is everywhere on the subject of Earth Hour. I'm excited that this event brought the topic to the forefront of everyone's minds. Personally, we'll be having a gathering of friends for a celebration. I've sifted through storage to find candles to illuminate our hour of fun. We've pulled out the Twister game and there are other games to keep us interested.
Most likely we'll sit around and talk, much like we do when we get together. But maybe the topic of conversation will take a slight turn. Maybe we'll reflect, if only for an hour, on the fact that a small gesture like turning out the lights, can have a remarkable effect if we all do it. I'm hopeful that there will be many positive stories come out of this and that individuals, businesses and governments will decide that an Earth Hour every month, or even every week, would be a wonderful contribution to the greater good.
If nothing else, I would like to believe that something as simple as this will remind people that although they are one small voice, that together with others they become a chorus. Dare I hope that we develop, under the umbrella of saving our planet, some relationships that will be nurtured and developed rather than damaged and destroyed? This is my hope.
