3/27/10: Earth Hour

Tomorrow (March 27) at 8:30 p.m. the world will send a powerful message that climate change is a priority that must be dealt with now. By turning off non-essential lighting for one hour, Earth Hour people across the globe will show their support for lasting action to protect Earth's natural resources, environment, and climate.
Earth Hour has grown into a global phenomenon that has captured the world's attention. Each year, individuals, organizations, businesses, and state and local governments come together to show their support by turning off the lights in homes, the workplace, and at iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Las Vegas Strip, Sydney's Opera House, and more. In 2009 alone, people in 4,100 cities in 87 countries on seven continents turned out for Earth Hour.

We encourage the entire Green Schools community to participate and help make Earth Hour 2010 the biggest effort yet. Getting involved is easy.
