I think Earth Hour is a great thing. Wonder if Boston will.
Being legally blind, I usually have one light on here for the dog and that
is it.
Interesting about Google's background.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Laika, Nick Abadzis, and Earth Hour (OT)
I only found it by looking at Amazon to see whether to
put the request in the fiction or nonfiction section
of the Wish List. I use Amazon a lot for reference.

It is a shame that the book jacket or catalog didn't
state so that you didn't have to waste so much time
and become so frustrated. Possibly if information
about the author was on the back of the jacket or a
page inside the book at the end--which you probably
didn't get to--the information would be there.
But maybe not. It was only when I googled the author
http://www.nickabadzis.com/bio.html
that I found he's a comic and graphic novel writer and
an illustrator. He's an artist.
Speaking of Google--its home page background is black
today instead of white, with white print. This is to
make us aware of Earth Hour. Here's the paragraph that
explains:
"On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites
people around the world to turn off their lights for
one hour â?" from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time
zone. On this day, cities around the world, including
Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv,
will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to
energy conservation."
I'll do it, if I remember.
