Earth Hour has come and gone. I did walk around my neighborhood and the downtown core. As expected I couldn’t tell who was participating. I did see a house light go out promptly at 8 p.m. so I can only hope it stayed out for the hour. What I didn’t expect to see was the large Tim Hortons sign completely dark. The coffee shop too was dimly lit. I wasn’t sure if the sign was broken and the lighting just dim. I went back at 9 p.m. to wait. Then it happened. The large sign kicked in its lights and the shop became brighter. Bravo Timmy for taking part. Now if only they would start stocking recyclable cups.
