On Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 pm, please do your part to stop global warming by participating in Earth Hour's "Lights Out" across the globe.
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. That year, the city's carbon consumption dropped by more than 10% during Earth Hour. Maintaining that level of energy reduction would be equivalent to taking almost 50,000 cars off the road.
By 2008, the message had grown substantially and 50 million people in 35 countries switched off their lights for one hour. Even landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Colosseum, and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness for one hour.

Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers. Check it out at www.commit21.com
