Earth Hour in NYC

Julie and I went down to Times Square for Earth Hour. For one hour starting at 8:30 local time, major landmarks and cities turn out the lights to conserve energy and inspire people to take action against climate change. Julie and I met two people who were there to see the event, a man visiting from Holland and a woman visiting from Germany. I think we were the only four people that came to see the event. Since only a few lights went out, it wasn't really that dramatic. But still a cool event.
