Earth Hour Is Saturday - Don't Forget To Turn Out The Lights!3.27.2009http://www.thedailygreen.com/print-this/environmental-news/latest/earth-hour-47032002http://www.thedaily green.com/ environmental- news/latest/ earth-hour- 47032002? src=nl & mag= tdg & list= dgr & kw=istEarth Hour is practically here! http://www.earthhour.org/home/On Saturday, March 28, turn off your lights for one hour, starting at 8:30 p.m. (local time).Why?Earth Hour began in 2006 in Sydney, Australia, as a way to get an entire city to help do something about climate change. A symbolic act, it nevertheless managed to cut individual energy use by a fraction as people across the city shut off the lights.The past two years, WWF has taken the event worldwide, and

this year, the international environmental organization is framing the event as a vote. You flick off the lights to vote yes for action on global warming, or you don't. (The benefits of the Earth Hour idea are also evident for backyard stargazers, whose view of the night sky is typically obscured by light pollution.)In the U.S., hundreds of cities, towns, and whole states -- Pennsylvania, California and Arkansas among them -- will participate. The Daily Green is proud to say that its home base, the LEED-gold certified Hearst Tower will go dark. See the Urth Guy's recent post for a more complete list of participants and activities, as well as more facts about Earth Hour.
