Get involved in the Earth Hour movement! Turn off your lights for one hour on Saturday, March 27th, from 8:30 to 9:30 pm local time. Click here to say you’ll be a part of this effort and join hundreds of millions of people around the world who have pledged to save energy. The savings of just one hour shows how our individual efforts become powerful and significant when we all work together.
Last year lights were turned off on the Empire State Building, all New York Broadway theater marquees, the Las Vegas Strip, the Golden Gate Bridge, St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, London’s Big Ben, and other important landmarks around the world.
This is also an opportunity for us to remember our friends in Zimbabwe and Ecuador who experience these kinds of scheduled (and sometimes random) power cuts on a daily basis as they deal with country wide energy shortages.
So join us, grab a candle or flashlight, read your kids a book, play a board game and enjoy each others company the old fashion way while we all do our part to save energy and our planet.
