World Water Day & Earth Hour!

This is a good week to be a Citizen of the Planet {one of my favorite Alanis Morissette songs}.

Today is World Water Day and while I am pretty sure that most of us never give it much thought billions of people still need safe drinking water and toilets. {yes in 2010}

So, perhaps today as we stand at our sinks or in the shower under the warm wonderful water, we will for one, be grateful and two, take a moment to see how we may be able to help someone who can’t.

And to cap out the week, the 27th is the day Earth Hour takes place.

It is basically an hour where we, the people of this planet can take time to consider the effects of our electricity consumption by turning off the lights.

I normally celebrate this by unplugging everything in my home except the essentials, like the fridge and playing games by candlelight with my kid.

This year I am actually scheduled to attend a function during the “actual earth hour” but I will make up for it by hosting my own hour at home when I return for the evening.
