It began in Australia in 2007, and has since spread like a pimply rash to more than 130 countries.
But If you missed it, its not your fault.

And now, after five years, some commentators are pronouncing the fad over, which suggest were all uncaring jerks.
Which I know I am anyway.

I don't know about earth hour. But I celebrate Earth day every year the same way. I ride my bike out to the country and sit beneath a tall old oak reading a book made from recycled paper. While burning a giant pile of old truck tires. :)
