Earth Hour

Photo: Ayat's Mom lighting a candleAs you may have heard March 28 was Earth Hour. Many people around the world were voting to reduce global warming; and to vote you had to turn your lights off at 8:30 PM till 9:30 PM. It happened last Saturday. This was the first year I did it because it was the first time Jordan did it!!

I told all my friends to do it and told them they have to vote to save our only Earth. And many of them did. On the night of voting I was pretty excited to light up all the candles and get ready. So my family and I began lighting the candles and getting ready. It was fun. After getting ready we watched the clock and turned the lights off for one whole hour.
