The problem begins and becomes visible!
Up to before two years in the region where I live, the rains the winter exceeded the 40 mms!
one year before it was 19 mms and it was yesterday announced by the Meteorological Service, that this year all the winter the height of rains in Central Greece where I live, was hardly 2 mms!

I like living by candlelight. In fact, our house lives with the lights turned out much of the time.

Good on ya!

Sitka is not tied into a grid and all our power comes from hydro-electric. They did have to run some diesel this past winter becasue the lakes got a little low, but even with that over 98% of all our power comes from hydro. Most years it is 100%.

I never heard of that!

We did it too. But sadly, we walked around our block and only 17 of 128 houses were dark. WAHN!

Glad you were.

Great photo. I totally forgot about Earth Hour until about 10 pm. Next year!

We observed Earth Hour also by turning off the lights at 8:00 Saturday evening.
