Live Blogging Earth Hour

7:53. Watching TV. Oh, shit it's almost 8 o'clock.

7:54. Start turning off lights. Think I'll boil some water, make a tea first.

7:55. Start unplugging non-essential appliances (everything but the fridge?).

7:59. Water boiled, tea made. Everything else turned off. Computer powered down, internet disconnected.

8:00. Sitting in dark, candlelit, reading.

8:01. Start making calls on my cell phone.
