We sort of did ours, for two hours, an hour early. I was gone to dinner and all of the lights were out except Rog's laptop. We tend to be pretty frugal anyway with lights. My dad was always yelling at us to turn them out, so I grew up conserving.:-) We have had the long-lasting, low use bulbs for years now.

I am more concerned, here, with the lack of everyday recycling. People just don't seem to be doing it as they should. I'm not sure any of our neighbours do. My Rog found me a neat water bottle at the health food store. It's made of corn, biodegrades after 80 days in a landfill, has a built-in filter to get rid of chlorine and is good for up to 90 refills. So, no more plastic water bottles to recycle, which I never liked using, anyway! It's a really neat bottle made by New Wave Enviro.
