According to the Earth Hour website the Earth Hour event last Saturday night (28th March 09 0830-0930) “… was an incredible success,”.  Whilst I find that encouraging news, albeit declared by themselves, I feel they may have done even better if their publicity efforts had reached further.  I am plugged into a number of social networking sites, blog feeds, news websites, twitter feeds etc… but first heard about this through my local radio station which I listen to on rare occasion.

At first I thought it must have just slipped through my net but from listening/reading other people I find they were in the same situation.

In my last post I said I’d be interested to know if Earth Hour would make any difference to our levels of light pollution; I was near the East coast of England (near Skegness but far enough away from the town to see the effects of light pollution) on Saturday night and I didn’t notice any difference at all

So, to reduce the risk of missing Earth Hour next year I’ve signed up for notifications by email and I’m following them on twitter @earthhour too.

Until the next post… Clear Skies!  – and keep asking WHY?
