Thanks for posting a reminder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655807 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:58:23 +0000 Bao 655807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Oh that's easy enough! Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655804 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:56:38 +0000 travelgirl1 655804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to try... A little candle-lit picnic on the floor could be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655802 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:56:09 +0000 MamaMoose 655802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: to participate all you need to do is commit to turning all your lights (and preferably other things that use electricity) off from 8:30-9:30pm this Saturday. It's meant to raise awareness about global warming and other Eco issues the Earth faces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655793 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:52:55 +0000 Bao 655793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The link won't work on my phone, can anyone explain to me what this is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655776 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:43:54 +0000 MamaMoose 655776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: sorry I meant to reply earlier but my work comp was having a tough time with the link and then I got distracted (pesky clients!). I actually normally am bad about this kind of thing... But even though M is much too young to understand I want to get in the habit of exposing her to important topics like this so now that you've brought it to my attention I'll definitely do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655736 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Eeee! That was my hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655723 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:10:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 655723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you reminded me, yes we will :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655646 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:31:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Yeah, no baby rabies here right now!</p> <p>@Mrs. Train: That was a hard concept for us too. Lala desperately wants to be a dino doctor when she grows up and it was difficult explaining that the dinos don't exist any more. She says she'll "just fix them". I said "Honey, they tried that in Jurrasic Park and it didn't turn out so well." Strangely, she didn't get the reference ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655629 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:23:56 +0000 Mrs. Train 655629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard of it before. I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the link. I think it's so important to teach our kids about our impact on this planet. Just today I was trying to explain extinction, kind of a big concept for a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655609 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:16:11 +0000 Honeybee 655609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I'm sad and incredibly proud at the same time. :) H's eye teeth are finally coming in, too, which makes me so happy to finally be done with teething, but also sad becuase I love gummy baby smiles. These are the only times I feel hints of baby rabies, btw! The rest of the time I'm fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655596 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:13:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: We no longer have infants. Sniff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655573 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:06:13 +0000 Honeybee 655573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655568 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:05:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Hey, the intention is the start, right?</p> <p>@Honeybee: Aww... H's birthday weekend. Hooray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655475 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:36:47 +0000 Honeybee 655475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My parents are coming up for H's birthday, but they'll go back to their hotel room before 8:30. I really want to do it with the kids, but obviously they'll be in bed by then. Maybe we'll celebrate on east coast time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655473 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:36:38 +0000 .twist. 655473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to every year. It's really terrible but I end up forgetting or something happens where I can't or I'm not home or SOMETHING. Which is a poor excuse but I do intend to ever single year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655449 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:29:03 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And thanks for being the one person to respond ;) Guess ecoconsciousness isn't that high on most people's priority list right now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655443 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 655443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Of course we are! We'll just do it at home. My sister is visiting this weekend and hopefully she'll be into it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-655358 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:56:55 +0000 Honeybee 655358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you going to an event, or are you just doing it at home?

I should have known you guys would be into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-earth-hour-this-weekend#post-654589 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:42:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 654589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's nice to remind ourselves what we have and our impact on the planet so we'll be doing it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthhour.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthhour.org/</a> </p>
