Earth Day Prelude - Earth Hour 2009
Earth Day is coming up next month on April 22nd, what better way to get warmed up for Earth Day, then by participating in Earth Hour? Earth Hour 2009 is scheduled for March 28, 2009 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time, and participants are encouraged to turn off all their lights for one hour. Over 74 countries and states have already publicly declared their support for Earth Hour, and reports that the numbers continue to grow daily.
Earthhour.org has a petition for participants to sign as well local information regarding the event in your area. The Earth Hour website also has news and background information of the origins of this demonstration of collective environmental will.
