I recently learned about Earth Hour 2009 and I want to tell you now, so you mark your calendars.
Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia, in 2007, with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning off their lights for one hour as a “vote” FOR the earth, and a “vote” AGAINST global warming. By 2008, this movement had grown to 50 million people, and even darkened the Sydney Opera House, Rome’s Colosseum, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and the Coca-Cola sign in NYCs Times Square.
This year the goal is ONE BILLION people switching off their lights in a unified vote, because, regardless of where you live, we all depend on the same planet! This is the perfect tim
e to turn off the lights, discuss global warming with your children, talk about what you can do to fight global warming and just “cozy-up” to consider taking actions to assure that we aren’t polluting our earth and overusing resources in our everyday lives – and realize how vital our actions are. You might even consider contacting local officials and get your city, town or municipality to “switch off” too!… I did!
Mark your calendar: Saturday, March 28, 2009, from 8:30 – 9:30 PM
Stand up, sign up and take responsibility.
Will you “vote” with me?

I also found out about Earth Hour just recently, but I’m doing as much as I can in a short time to let everyone know about it! Wouldn’t it be cool to see some satellite photos from space as each time zone observes Earth Hour?
greenmomonthego – SO funny that you mentioned that (about satellite photos!)… I said the exact same thing to a friend today! Wouldn’t that be so amazing… AND impactful to see the difference that can be made!
I,m in and thanks for the reminder.
shari – GREAT!
