Celebrate Earth Hour Saturday

Don’t forget the big event on March 27th that celebrates Earth Hour. At 8:30 pm on Saturday evening, shut down all your lights and electrical devices (including your computer) to make a stand against global warming and energy waste.  Last year Earth Hour darkened the globe sufficiently to be seen from satellites above the planet.  Keep in mind each one of us helps to use up the limited resources on this planet.  Yet each one of us can also contribute to cleaning up pollution, expanding green jobs, developing better energy resources and boosting our economy by living in a more conscious, eco-friendly lifestyle.  Every individual can have an impact on making life on this planet better and healthier. So don’t forget to turn off all utilities that are not absolutely necessary Saturday evening at 8:30 pm — just for an hour. Then focus on the small ways you, too, can make this a better planet to live on.
