Earth Hour

My family join all people who will be vote to the Earth.
On March 28th we will switch off the lights at 8.30pm, for 1 hour. I suggest that we will have wonderful time with my husband and kids... We will sit outside and see the beautiful stars.
P.S. Today is Sunday. Yesterday we walked with family on our street and admired night sky... Also I counted how many houses joined the voting on our street. It was about a half of all amount...
Russia took part in Voting Earth!
