Tonight is - dum da da dum! - Earth Hour.
Which means - as Nelly Furtado would say, and will say, at a free concert tonight in Toronto - TURN OUT THE LIGHTS. For one hour. Tonight, starting at eight. The objective is to get as many communities and people around the world reducing their power-use, for just a little while, to what a difference it makes.
