Happy Hour

It could be just me, but it seems that every year there is less and less light shed about Earth Hour.

This year I've seen more information about "Human Achievement Hour" or HAH.

HAH wants people to gather with friends in a heated home, watch television and surf the Internet.

HUH, I've been doing that without even knowing I was participating in HAH.

The Liter just likes telling the Earth Hour folks to flick off and the scientific community is united in that fact.

"HAH is an annual event meant to recognize and celebrate the fact that this is the greatest time to be alive, and that the reason we have come is that people have been free to use their minds and the resources in their environment to experiment, create, and innovate".

Earth Hour wants you to use candles, which date back to around 200 BC.

Candles to be used in lieu of lights should be 100 percent beeswax or soy varieties, according to Earth Hour officials, because they are non-toxic and non-allergenic.

We have become a world of wimps.

Whichever you choose to celebrate, the hour is to be observed tonight from 20:30 to 21:30 locally.
