Earth Hour 2009 (and 50th True Parents Day)

Hey, I just wanted to remind all my MANY readers that tomorrow from 8:30PM to 9:30PM is Earth Hour. What does that mean? I means to shut off all your lights and electric appliances for one hour. The purpose is to raise awareness of how much energy we use and how it effects our environment.

Ideally we should all use a lot less electricity than we do, and turning off all our electricity using devises can remind ourselves and our neighbors(by seeing our lights off) to try to use less.

Weather you believe in "Global Warming" or not, less energy usage means less pollution and waste. I hope you will join me in flipping the switch tomorrow night. For those of you who are a fan of the Christian/Jewish Bible, you can do this remembering Genesis 1:28.

To learn more, check out http://www.earthhour.org/home/ and select your country to see what related events are going on. Many companies and even cities throughout the world are participating.

As a side note, in the Unificationist faith today is the 50th True Parent's Day.

Here are a few URL's for an explanation of True Parents Day.

It as been a very sad and bad moment for me, the present condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain.
I am really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in the Taxi where my money, passport, documents and other valuable things were kept on my way to the Hotel I'm staying, I'm facing a hard time here because I have no money on me. I am now owning a hotel bill of 750.00 pounds and they wanted me to pay the bill soon else they will have to seize my bag and hand me over to the Hotel Management, I need this help from you urgently to help me back home, I need you to help me with the hotel bill and I will also need 250.00 pounds to feed and help myself back home, So please can you help me with a sum of 1000.00 pounds to sort out my problems here? I need this help so much and on time because I'm in a terrible and tight situation here, I don't even have money to feed myself for a day which means I had been starving so please understand how urgent I need your help.
