Last night, my friends and I participated in Toronto’s Earth Hour by playing Mah Jong in candlelit.  Looked out the windows, only The Bay actually turned off their lights, all the other stores had their lights on even after business hours. I was hoping more offices would participate in the event, but from the news this morning, seems like we did okay already, lol.

At 9:30 p.m., the conclusion of the second global Earth Hour, the meter at Toronto Hydro’s control centre that measures city-wide electricity demand hit 2,545 megawatts – 15 per cent below typical demand at that time and 7 per cent below the lowest demand during Earth Hour in 2008. —The Star
