I posted this in GD, but thought the E/E group might be interested too.
http://www.earthhour.org/http://earthhour.smh.com.au/http://www.thestar.com/earthhourAn initiative that started in Sydney, Australia last year has become a global movement.
On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour.
On March 29, at 8:00 pm, millions of households and businesses worldwide will power down. The City of Toronto has pledged to participate, and The Toronto Star is heavily promoting the program, in an effort to encourage significant participation from residents here.
Visit the link above to sign up as an individual. Or contact your municipality to suggest they participate too.
