Earth Hour and Scientiae

Remember tonight is Earth Hour to highlight our increasing global warming crisis. Join millions of other people in turning off your lights for an hour starting at 8 pm in your time zone.

Here on the western edge of the Eastern Time zone, it's still light at 8. So my husband and I might go for a walk, or just sit out on our front porch and watch the world go by for a little bit. Other ideas are here.

Remember also that Scientiae posts are due in the next day or so - on fools and foolishness, or anything else you care to contribute. See here for submission instructions. And if you haven't contributed before, consider this an invitation to send something in this time - Scientiae is very inclusive. Men and women, newbies and veteran bloggers, scientists, engineers and mathematicians of all stripes are welcome to participate.
