Earth Hour
Friday, March 28, 2008 at 12:28PM Hi All,
Well I guess it's that time of year again...Earth Hour. When Sydney and in fact this year the world take the mantra of Bob Marley and 'Turn The Light Down Low.' Well We actually turns the lights off.
It is amazing to see the amount of people and companies that get involved in this fantastic event.
We at Todae think that everyone can make a real and lasting impact if we take the enthusiasm from Earth Hour and continue to make an effort throughout the year. It does not have to be living a-naturale, but simple and easy changes that make a lasting difference.
Of course at Todae we are turning off our lights, but we have decided to go one step further. In conjuction with The Sun-Herald we are offering every reader of The Sun-Herald a $10 Eco Voucher to our online store www.todae.com.au.
You can use the voucher for any of our eco products and it is great opportunity to get some fantastic eco products to lead you on your way down eco lane!
Pick up a copy of The Sun-Herald this Sunday for your Todae Eco Voucher.
Until Next Time.

In our home we took part in earth hour by turning of the lights and TV and sitting around with candles on. The conversation quickly turned to.... is there more greenhouse gas emissions from the candles burning or from the very small amount of power our lights normally use?
Wow never thought of that! However, there is something quite liberating about sitting in the warm flickering light of candles.
Your candles wouldn't be emitting anything nasty if they were made from beeswax or palm oil, or a natural, non-petrochemical base. They are more expensive, but much cleaner, and much kinder to our precious breathing air. I think Earth Hour is all about educating a nation - it is about much more than turning your lights out for one eve of the year. To me, it is about re-educating us adults, to educate our children and social groups. You know the saying: when you educate an individual, you educate a nation. I feel proud you put an effort into earth hour.
