Some of you may have gotten an email over the weekend regarding earth hour. DON'T DELETE IT!! this day is very important to global warming and the earth. this event started in 2007 in Australia and has spread through the world. if we turn off our power in our homes for one hour we can reduce the amount of emissions going into the atmosphere.(from http://www.earthhour.org/ 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 participated 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.) I cant tell you everything but go check this out. http://www.earthhour.org/ and read additional information. I will be in contact.
