Did you remember to turn out your lights at Earth Hour on Saturday? I was out, but had made sure to turn all lights out but one, before I left. I kept one light on for Connor.
All across the world, huge landmarks turned out their lights for an hour, and made a statement about how we keep so many lights on unnecessarily.
Here are some pictures, from the Guardian, that show landmarks around the world with their lights out.

Sidney Harbour Bridge
Tower Bridge – London
Welsh Assembly Government – This is a couple of blocks from where I lived in Cardiff and is a very green building.
Did your city or town turn out the lights?
Thanks for telling us about this one Meg, I did not hear of it!

I've never heard of it, but I'm pretty sure my little burg did not turn out the lights - the whole population would have been on the phone to the power company in three seconds! 8-)
