Over the weekend during my travels to New York, I was reading the Delta magazine and it had an article about Earth Hour 2008. What is Earth Hour 2008 you ask?
Earth Hour, run by WWF, the conservation organization, is a global climate change initiative which calls on individuals and businesses around the world, to turn off their lights for one hour on Saturday March 29, 2008 between 8 pm and 9pm. The aim of the campaign is to express that individual action on a mass scale can help change our planet for the better. The event itself will clearly demonstrate in participating cities, the connection between energy usage and climate change, showing that we as broader community can address the biggest threat our planet has ever faced.
I think this is absolutely amazing that when we all band together and just turn off the lights for 1 hour that we make that big a difference. I plan on doing this at least once a week. Every little bit counts. You can sign up at earthhour.org or by clicking here. Spread the news and let’s make the world a better place to live.
Here’s a video below.
