It's time to think about our planet....

At 8:30 PM on Saturday 26th March 2011, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour and people will commit to actions that go beyond the hour.

With Earth Hour almost upon us, our thoughts are with the people of Japan during this incredibly challenging and sad time for their country.

日本の皆さん、勇気を持って頑張って下さい

C.C said this is Earth's 'happy hour' and I agree with him.
We discussed ways we could help during Earth Hour and came up with a list

• use a candle or a glow-stick instead of electris lights (only with mum or dad)
• turn off your lights
• use a lantern or torch
• use a battery night light
• turn off the computer at the wall
• turn off the t.v
• turn off all unused electrical things (only if mum or dad say so!)

Instead of watching t.v we came up with lots of other things we could do

• play hide and seek with torches
• have sparklers (with mum or dad)
• play spotlight
• read a book with a torch
• play a board game
• have a picnic outside
• have a party with the neighbours....

What else could we do?
We hope that you will all join with us for one hour on Saturday and help to make our planet Earth last.
