Tomorrow is Earth Hour! And just what the hell is Earth Hour, you may be asking.Earth Hour is a global initiative to “turn off the lights” in cities around the world for one hour from 8:30-9:30 p.m. (local time) on Saturday, March 28.
Earth Hour brings together a diverse group of community organizations to increase awareness of the impacts of climate change. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched Earth Hour in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million people and thousands of businesses turned off their lights for one hour. In March 2008 an estimated 36 million Americans joined the effort, with more than 400 cities and 50 million people participating worldwide.
So with your help and just an hour of unplugging we can reach a new record of participating households and businesses! And just think of all you could get done in that one hour when you aren't glued to the TV/computer! You could clean your bathroom (you know you need to!), have a candlelight dinner, play a boardgame, practice perfecting the horizontal shuffle, play with your dog or you can do what I plan on doing and have a beer (or 3) and cheers to those around the world doing their part to help better the environment.
For further information check out their website and join me on Saturday by turning out the lights!
Have a great weekend! We are going to be partying w/ the rents and sis. I see mucho margaritas in my near future!
