As a family we have a movie night.  We either go buy a couple of movies or rent them.  We get our favorite snacks and we pop some popcorn.  We turn off the lights and pretend we are at the theater.  I light candles (organic candles of course) that hang on the wall and that reminds us of the lights on the wall at the movies. If you do not like to use candles you can buy the energy saving night light and use them.   We each have our drinks and snack.  I put the popcorn into reusable popcorn containers and we sat back altogether on the sofa and watch the movie.  If it is a scary movie we end up snuggled up all together.

As we were watching a movie one night I looked around and noticed we were saving energy.   As a family we were all in one room and no lights, radios or televisions were on in the other rooms.  I felt pretty good that not only was we together as a family but we were being good to Mother Earth.
