On Saturday at 8:30 pm, Boston along with 4,000 other cities, shut off their lights for an hour in efforts to focus on environment and dangers to climate change. Once started in Sydney, Austrilia and has now become a world wide fenemon with its fourth year going strong. In Boston, lights such as " the famous Citgo sign, the Prudential Center, the Zakim Bridge and the John Hancock Tower.

It is said that more than 120 countries participated in this event, and hopefully next year that number can double. Many people are not aware of how the smallest things we do in this world can actually be a big impact.
