Before and during Earth Hour pictures of Canberra city does not look like it changed at all, except the parliament house has the lights turned off!
There where around 150-200 people gathered at Mt Ainslie to look down ANZAC Parade and Capital Hill to see the city with lights turned off. I with everyone else
was pretty disappointed that the city did not look any different Most business except restaurants may be had to have their lights on and the street lights where
obviously left on. We had the lights turned of at my brothers place.

Talking to my sister in law about Earth Hour and she mentioned how, Earth Hour is not a new concept in India. In India it is forced Earth Hour, sometimes with
notice but mostly without for couple of hours.
Could we do the same in Australia. Have a forced hour of black out every week during scheduled times? we could surely get used to it. I certainly did get used to
it when I was India!
