  1. Hi Room 10,

    We think you could play board games with a torch so you aren't using power and you can switch off the tele.
    You could read instead of watching tele or playing the playstation.
    We will try to turn off the switches in our house especially if you are not using them.
    You can use candles or torches instead of lights.
    You can use book lights and read together.
    When you start Earth Hour you can unplug your appliances.

    Last year people went to Balloons over Waikato to save power because it meant they weren't home to use power. We are going to Balloons over Waikato but it is in April this year.
