I was excited when I first read about Earth Hour about a month ago in the paper. This is a worldwide blackout is meant to demonstrate how global collaborative efforts can inspire positive change for the environment. I had already been thinking that it would be fun for the kids to experience an evening/night without any lights - just maybe the moonlight and candlelight.
