Who is doing it? I have to confess, I signed up last year and completely FORGOT to do it. I need some candles but I kind of think that buying candles JUST for Earth Hour isn't very climate friendly in itself :lol. Although if I needed them and used them at other times... which I guess I do... anyway who is doing it and what are you planning on doing when the lights are out?

We'll do it again, probably need to get candles as well.
No real plan of what to do, last year the girls were in bed I think. Maybe make love by candle light if im in the mood :lol:
OR if the girls are awake we might sit around and tell stories or something

Did you see S that Biome at paddington is having a sale on this weekend, maybe we should stop in there after markets and then go on to St Vinnies? Should really email you eh :lol

YOu did it last night, or last year? :lol You're a tad early if you did it last night (or late, depending on your perspective :lol)

It's March 28.

I have some old beeswax bits left over from old candles. I thought we'd melt it down and pour it into the walnut shells we collect from our tree. There are some great candle ideas in this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Earthwise-Environmental-Crafts-Activities-Children/dp/0863151582) steinery book I was reading today, although I made the walnut one up in my head, not sure if it'll work :lol
