March 27th, Earth Hour came and went.  We were glad we were able to celebrate it this year.  It was actually not too hard for me to keep the lights off since I tried to keep my kids in bed by then.

I actually have been trying really hard to keep our family Sundays, an "unplugged" day (no TV, no lights, no radio, no internet/computers, etc.).  It's been nearly impossible to go through the whole day like this, but keeping it as a goal, makes us consciously reduce our use of electricity at home on Sundays and this energy conservation behavior is trickling into the rest of the week.
