One Month Until Earth Hour
Turn Your LIghts Off March 28th To Fight Global Warming
One month from now, people around the world will turn off their lights for one hour to show their support in the fight against climate change.
The Earth Hour event takes place March 28th, and encourages everyone who signs up to turn off every light in their homes from 8:30-9:30 pm (local time).
Earth Hour started two years ago, when 2.2 million people participated. This year, sponsor WWF is trying to take it to the next level, with a goal of 1 billion participants in 1,000 cities.
The Earth Hour site goes beyond individual acts and encourages you to tell your friends and influence your community. Think you can get local stores and government offices to turn off their lights on March 28, too? Then go ahead and do it! There are also all kinds of downloads to help promote events on a corporate and community level.
So if you'd like to send a message about our impact on the planet and climate change, go ahead and sign up for this year's Earth Hour. You never know how much change you can create on your own until you try.
