Earth Hour | World Wildlife Fund

Why will hundreds of millions of people from all around the world be turning off their lights from 8:30-9:30pm tonight?   It’s Earth Hour– a show of solidarity in focusing on the one thing that unites us all—our planet.

World Wildlife Fund has always been my favorite charity, because their method of conservation relies on strong partnerships with indigenous communities to create win-wins for both people and the environment.  For 50 years they’ve been using science, research and human relations to save earth’s most cherished endangered species.  WWF’s been instrumental in efforts to save tigers,  panda bears, rhinos, elephants, gorillas and just about every other endangered species you can think of.  If not for WWF, some of these species might already be extinct in the wild.

If you’re a like-minded conservationist, how about joining us and millions of people in 7,001 cities and towns across 152 countries and territories to switch lights off from 8:30-9:30 tonight as a massive show of concern for the environment?

You can get involved, by watching the Earth Hour video, starting your own Earth Hour event or sharing your Earth Hour photos and stories on Facebook.  Join the Earth Hour global community here and be a part of the solution.

We’ve been participating in the World Wildlife Fund‘s Earth Hour project for the last couple years and it’s been a lot of fun.  Have you heard of Earth Hour?  It’s a time when the whole world comes together to make a statement and make a difference in the fight against global climate change.  We’ll all turn our lights off for an hour on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, local time.

Last year nearly one billion people participated by turning their lights off in their homes and small businesses all around the world.  In the USA, National Monuments including Mount Rushmore, along with other American icons like the Empire State Building, the Las Vegas Strip and the Golden Gate Bridge and many more joined in.

Please mark your calendar and join us to turn your lights out on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.  It’s a great time for a candlelight dinner or perhaps a little star-gazing.  Tenille Bonoguore has 60 suggestions for cool things to do when the lights are out.  If you send us photos of what you did during Earth Hour, we’ll send you a $25 gift certificate for eco-friendly furniture at Vermont Woods Studios!
