Earth Hour

I achieved my Earth Day goal: to keep my lights off from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. I did this by hanging out at Danielle's house (come on, it still counts because MY lights were off...) and then going to the Gym-Master's homeshow. Watch this video to find out more about what other people and cities did tonight for Earth Hour.



Earth Hour's Web site can also give you more info.

Snow states

I was going to type this a week ago, but I forgot to so I'll just do it now. Last Monday one of my teachers said that on the Friday before (Feb. 12) every single state in the U.S. had snow. Yes, Hawaii had snow up on its tallest volcano. Yes, Florida had snow in the panhandle. Yes, Texas and Arizona and New Mexico and California all had snow. Amazing isn't it. Apparently, so my teacher claimed, that was the first time every state had had snow in the same day. Crazy, eh? I think so. Also, (not that this is on the exact same topic) I am amused that the term "global warming" is going out of style for the newer and more-hip expression "climate change." Do those in power really think that, by inventing new phrases to scare the public into believing whatever they're told, they can dictate the events, natural or otherwise, that will happen to planet earth? I'm pretty content to leave the future of the world up to God. It means a lot less worrying for me to do and that's just fine.
