Earth hour is today! We hope that you're going to join the hundreds of millions of people around the world and turn off the lights for one hour. Earth Hour is a snapshot of the positive impact we can make by working together to protect our planet. Get involved by turning off your lights between 8:30pm and 9:30pm and encourage your friends, family and co-workers to do the same.

What are you doing today? Here are some of our favourite ways to spend Earth Hour:

• Go for a walk and see what other neighbours have joined the effort
• Enjoy a candle-lit dinner or put a blanket on the floor and turn it into a picnic
• Look up! The night sky looks completely different when it's not obscured by light pollution
• Dig out the Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Sorry! or Candy Land and organize a family game night
• Slip into a candle-lit bath and forget all about your Facebook account
• Meditate or have a tai-chi or yoga session
• Gather your favourite storytellers in a circle and spin some ghost tales with them
• Grab the acoustic guitar and play songs from your favourite environmentalist musician
• Call someone you haven't talked to in a while and since you're reconnecting, remind the person on the other end of the line about Earth Hour
• Go on a hunt for at least five swappable items around the house or make a list of five skills or talents that you can use on Swapsity!

Let us know what you did during Earth Hour!
