Thursday, March 29, 2012 Earth Hour 2012What are you doing this Saturday night? Join in with me as I turn off my lights with the rest of the world at 8:30 for 60 minutes. Get outside and see who else is turning off their lights. And I challenge you to make a change that you carry forward in your life. I'm going to reduce my shower time. Earth Hour 60+ Saturday, November 5, 2011 Solar DecathlonCheck out the Canadian entry, the TRTL, to the 2011 Solar Decathlon.
