Sometimes it can seem overhwhelming on how you can help with things like peace on earth, education and enviormental problems.

Saturday, March 28th, 2009 is Earth Hour.  At 8:30pm (your local time) turn off your lights for one hour to unite with people all over the world to say, “We need to keep Earth healthy”

Earth Hour was started by the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) and is a global international effort.  I participated last year by pledging to participate.  I spent time reading by candle light.

This year, I’m sharing one way I help keep the Earth healthy by using diswashing detergent that doesn’t contain chlorine. 

• Dishwashing detergent by Seventh Generation
• You can pick up Baking soda and Borax at your local grocery store
