Follow up : Earth Hour!

Dear 5R,
how was your Earth Hour experience?

My Earth hour experience was only for five minutes because my son nearly ate the candle. Well, at least I tried. I did see many households near my flat with their lights switched off for some time. How was your experience? Please share them in comments.
