activism, environment, politics, video No Comments »

Here in the U.S. the time is almost upon us! Please show your support for the Earth by switching off your lights (and any other electronics you can live without) from 8:30 to 9:30 this evening, and send a message to our leaders that we need to act now against climate change.

Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney Australia where 2.7 million switched off their lights. The following year the movement had gone global and an estimated 50 million people participated in 35 countries and over 370 cities.

Please join us. We can do better. We have to.

A break from our regularly scheduled programming. This amazing exhibit called Multiverse is on display through 2009 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The visuals remind me of the warp speed affect in Star Trek, and is never the same twice. Cool stuff. Any chance of this exhibit heading west?

Watch…
