Earth Day

OK. FIrst of all, happy holidays and spring break. I hope you're all doing fine wherever you are. Also, good luck with Thespian and JCL, since I won't be seeing any of you at either. Too bad I can't go (for me at least, since I had wanted to go). However, my own spring break won't be miserable: I have a couple cello competitions on Saturday, but then on that same day I fly to England. And aside from the competitions and the flight to England, Saturday happens to be my birthday (it sucks to do competitions on your birthday)... and Earth Day!

Which brings me to what I'm gonna say about Earth Day. I just found out a few days ago that during this year's Earth Day (Saturday March 29/my birthday) there's going to be an Earth Hour (8pm), where major cities from around the world will stop using electricity, gas, etc.
The idea is that that whole city will turn black, and that even if it will only turn black for an hour, that hour will be symbolic in the change we humans (that's us, in case you didn't know) will need to fight global warming. So basically, these cities are going to 'switch off' for an hour.
Which cities? I don't know all of them, but some cities are definitely Brisbane, Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Tel Aviv, and Toronto.
Anyway, I thought it was a totally awesome idea, and I hope someone takes a photo from outerspace or whatever so I can see the 'blackout' in those cities. Maybe I'll see the 'blackout' on my plane trip to England.
Excuse my childish enthusiasm, but if Earth Hour works, I think it'll be pretty darn exciting (I don't need to be witty or cynical when if comes to the well being of our planet).
So since I thought it was cool, I decided to post this up on the blog for you all to see, whether you knew about this or not.

Have a great spring break, once again.
