Candle Night
Tonight (June 21) was Candle Night, an effort suggesting to turn off the lights and use candles instead for two hours from 20:00, to save electricity. I had heard of this at a few places, one of these being our local community yoga class where we've been a few times. Lately the class is held in a Japanese room with tatami and shōji (the sliding door-like "curtains"), which feels very nice for yoga.
The class today was held from 19:00 to 20:30, and while the lights are usually dim, from 20:00 the teacher lit up the candles brought by students instead.
Well it was only a 30 minute contribution, but still. :) For those in the western world, it might still be time to participate.
