Earth Hour
Looking for something you can do to help the planet and make a statement about resource consumption? Turn off all of your lights on March 29 from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. It's Earth Hour!
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, where residents and businesses (including the iconic Opera House) turned off their lights for one hour. According to the Earth Hour web site, the result was the equivalent of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year!
This year the effort is going global. There are thousands of people from all over the world who have signed up to turn off their lights. Won't you join me?

I've seen signs for this on my bus and in bus shelters around the city--now I know what it is!
