Hello Patricia,
Something tells me you might be interested in this movement, as it is about climate change and spirituality.

It started in Sidney last year and involves everyone in town turning off all their lights for one hour. Many cities are participating this year, including Vancouver, Tokyo, Chicago, and Atlanta. The result in Sidney was equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year. Just turning off all the lights for one hour accomplishes this!
The spiritual effect would be that we could all go outside and see the stars, getting a feel for ourselves in relation to the cosmos once again. This was possible when I was a child, but I suspect most of the people in Houston were not born long enough ago to have ever seen a sky full of stars!
Starlight Blessings,
