Hey, did you hear the news that in about two weeks, on March 29, 2008, millions of people around the globe will be turning off their lights for one hour at 8pm, to send a united message on the need for global warming action?
It all started in Sydney, Australia back in March 2007, where 2.2M people and 2100 Sydney businesses (including the historic Opera House and Harbour Bridge) shut the lights off for an hour. Cities around the world took notice, hence the global event which is happening at the end of this month.
If you’re interested in learning more, check out their website. You can sign up to take action, and receive some great tips. Don’t forget to tell your friends about this important event, or better yet, create a local event! The site has a great PDF link with some ideas on how you can make this happen in your own community.


Wanted to say I just found your blog and really enjoy it (just subscribed). Earth Hour is a great idea. I’m an East Coast blogger and will share this idea in a post when it gets closer to 3/29. The more of us, the better! I look forward to reading more of your posts!
No event in Paris…Such a shame!!!
