From a hill just next to my house is the best view that you can get of Stockholm. Quite a few people gathered there to watch the effect of Earth Hour tonight. When we looked towards the city, not much changed as the clock struck 8.30 pm. All the streetlights were still on. When we looked in the other direction - towards Djurgården - it was quite different. Almost all the lights were turned off. Fascinating.
As I looked at the houses I was actually surprised that quite a few windows were still lit up by electric lights. Why? Did people forget about this or did they not care? Had they missed out on the information about this worldwide manifestation? Who knows. Still, most windows were dark or lit up by candles.
When the world can gather around a common cause like this,
anything should be possible.
