Earth Hour ,8 to 9 pm, local results
I reset our outdoor lights not to come on until 9:30, (They normally come on at 9pm, ’cause this time of year, with DST, it doesn’t get partially dark until about 8:45pm)
We turned off the one light we had on in the kitchen, at 7:55pm, (almost full daylight), and watched a pretty nice sunset. It was just starting to get a little dim, and we expected to see a bit of darkness before 9pm. About 8:40, just as the reddness of the sunset started to darken, street lights, popped on all across the river. Then yard lights, everywhere. (Not mine) So we sat basking in the glow of mulitple organge vapor lights for the last 15 minutes of “Earth Hour”, then turned on the DVR and watched a movie.
I’m thinking Earth hour, wasn’t that well publicized in our neighborhood.
