    Earth Hour -March 28 8pm


    Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

    About Earth Hour

    On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

    In 2008, 24 global cities will participate in Earth Hour at 8pm on March 29. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty, to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

    Even if our cities are not officially part of the campaign, we can participate!  Maybe next year it truly will be global!!

    One hour is all it takes. Join the message!   http://www.earthhour.org/

    My title has the wrong date. The correct date is in the text.

    Saturday March 29 at 8pm is Earth hour.

    I noticed about the two dates. I just figured the other side of the world might be ahead or behind by a day. Did somebody get mixed up here?

    Oh oh.........The site says Mar 29th. I guess I was really kept in the dark on this one.

    I looked out the window and saw half the houses in the neighbourhood had their lights off. I didn't know if it was Hallowe'en, Earth Hour, people forgot to pay their power bills, or the JW's were going door to door.Whistling [whistling]

    Re: Earth Hour -March 28 8pm

    I'm getting psyched out for 8:00.

    We've decided to NOT turn the lights on until 9:00.

    Computer gets shut down at 8:00.
