Last year I took a picture of Vancouver from out of our apartment during Earth Hour and it looked pretty much the same as it does every night. This year, there may have been a little less light, but I'm not sure people are getting it yet.
This news article shows the percentage reduction that communities around BC's lower mainland achieved last night.
The media are finally getting it. Last year it was almost a secret when Earth Hour was, and why it was. This year the local TV news actually mentioned it the Friday before it happened, so people could do something about it, rather than mentioning it briefly the Monday afterwards like they did last year!
But we still had glowing streets and people with every light in their apartments on during Earth Hour this year. Maybe next year...
