“You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.”
- Mahatma Ghandi
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. It has grown since then, and the goal for 2009 is to have 1 billion people from around the world switch off their lights as part of an initiative to combat global warming.
Simply put - lights off is a vote for Earth, lights on is a vote for global warming.
This year, Earth Hour will be held globally on
SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2009 AT 8:30PM - 9:30PM local time.
Please join us, the WWF, and the world in this cause to combat global warming. Leave a comment pledging your commitment to saving the Earth. Just copy and paste:
I, (name), pledge to turn off my lights during Earth Hour.
