I was introduced to Earth Hour in 2008. My daughter and I played a board game via candlelight, and she was so excited to do it again in the following years. (It was very memorable.) Earth Hour started in 2007 in Australia as a lights-off event to raise awareness about climate change. It has grown to engage more than 190 countries and territories worldwide. For just one hour, don’t use electricity – no lights, no electronics, no power tools, or appliances (well, leave the fridge running) …get creative!
Earth Hour is on Saturday, March 28, 2026
8:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m . | Your local time all over the GLOBE!

Friends of Baltimore Wood | 2014 Volunteer Highlight
In 2014, we volunteered with Friends of Baltimore Woods for two of SOLVE’s big volunteer events. (Photos Below) Located in St. Johns (North Portland) between Cathedral and Pier Parks, the 30-acre Baltimore Woods Connectivity Corridor is a unique urban greenway with a ton of community support & love turning it into a wonderful natural site.
Our Volunteer FUN – 2014
My daughter and her friend (volunteering is way more fun with a buddy) and I volunteered on SOLVE IT Earth Day, April 26th, at Baltimore Woods.
I was so surprised I hadn’t noticed this special gem!
Look closely behind the people standing in the photo above, you can barely see the cement steps in the back covered in ivy, shrubs and debris. My helpers were super motivated to clear these steps-and they rocked it!
Volunteer Day #2
My kiddo and her two friends volunteered with me September 27th, 2014 at Baltimore woods for the second time, and we could already see some changes!
Plus you get this awesome view!
