Eco Ideas: Here's a bright idea!

Or more literally, not so bright idea. Going green is all about baby steps-little changes that make a big impact. Do your part by flipping the switch. On March 28, from 8:30-9:30 pm, leave the lights off (and the tv, and the computer, you get the idea) and spend one hour saving energy. In 2008, more then 50 MILLION volunteers did this and this year, Earth Hour coordinators are hoping to hit the 1 billion mark.

Not sure what to do in the dark? Perhaps spending a little time with the one you love would appeal. Candles and a few glasses of wine are still accessible when the lights are out. ;) Or bust out the flashlight and retell scary stories with friends (yup, just like when you were a kid). Bonus points to you if you have a wood burning fireplace and you use it to make s'mores. Or take a moonlit walk. It's up to you!
