We provide a comfortable setting full of encouragement among friends to write and call. We learn something each week from each other as we continue in our long game of activism in favor of responsibility, accountability and other progressive values.

Starting as a symbolic lights out event in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour is now the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, inspiring millions of people to take action for our planet and nature. Every year millions of people, businesses and landmarks set aside an hour to switch off their lights. You can celebrate Earth Hour in any way you want. Want to keep it simple? You could host a candle-lit dinner, go stargazing, or simply switch off your lights for an hour.
