Many new soaps coming, and some great new changes/additions to the site! I think you’ll all be so surprised and pleased. I don’t want to say too much yet… but in the meantime, here are some sneak peeks of a few things presently on the curing rack.
What are you doing Saturday night?
Turn out.
Take action.
Be part of this historic event.
March 28, 2009, 8:30 – 9:30 p.m., your local time
World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.
In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change. One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen. With the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote, Vote Earth is a global call to action for every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet.
Will you vote for the Earth with your light switch? Sign up to participate in Earth Hour 2009… let your vote be counted!
I participated in Earth Hour 2008. It was a wonderful experience! We went above and beyond… we powered down everything in our home – not only our lights, but also radio, TV, you name it (well, ok, we left the fridge running)! We ended up staying powered down for much longer than an hour.
We spent a lovely evening by candlelight, free from the distractions our lives throw at us – news good and bad, constant “entertainment”, electronic noise – and tuned in to each other, our own selves, and the rhythms of nature. We watched birds settle in at dusk within the tree in front of our house. We noticed that we too were sleepy and ready to turn in much earlier than our artificially lit environment would otherwise have us believe.
On that one March evening, we felt truly connected. I actually had to remind myself that this was for a greater cause than my own well-being! But it is.
I will again be participating in Earth Hour 2009, and look forward to it tremendously.
Watch this YouTube video, a beautifully done history of this annual event. (sorry, WordPress wouldn’t let me embed the video!) Check out the Earth Hour FAQ for additional information and details.
I encourage you to not only add your voice to the growing momentum, but to also give yourself the gift of just one hour of quietude.
Or, if that isn’t your style, go to www.earthhour.org for a clickable map of worldwide event listings. West side Clevelanders, for example, can check out the Earth Hour event at the Lakewood Park (Google map) Women’s Club Pavilion starting at 8:00, including singalongs, stargazing, and storytelling.
Either way, sign on, switch off, and make a difference!
