We were proud to our small part in this great cause. Although it was just for one hour, once we did turn off all the lights...we (staff & customers) unanimously agreed that we should do this on a regular basis. Nothing like dinner by candle light...although making a cappuccino proved to be quite a challenge for our barista, Kunal!
We are all looking forward to Earth Hour 2009. Just by switching off for an hour, Australia was able to save 5% nationwide. Although a small percentage, across 22million people its huge!
Hats off to all those in OZ and around the world that joined in and switched off in 08!
I love this idea! You Aussie's are the best...will have to talk to people about this idea, who knows, maybe it could catch on here in the U.S., too.
