top of the earth!

in case you haven't heard, our country TOPPED the global earth hour participation (as per twinpopbro, and verified by this newsclip).

out of 88 countries, we 'switched off' the most lights.

now, i'm not big on 1-time media-heavy environmental events...

but i think this says a lot about us...  

how we can actually 'top' a ranking (that doesn't involve corruption).

and how we're all getting somehow greener (good for our businesses hee hee).

whether this earth hour will jumpstart real change -- who knows.  but it's better than nothing -- for now.
