Blackout for Earth Hour?

Hey guys, Wellingtonians will be turning off their lights and appliances for one hour – Earth Hour – on Saturday 28 March at 8.30pm to show their support for action on climate change. Wellington is a partner city for Earth Hour and is aiming to get 1 billion people in 1000 cities around the world to take part, which would make it the largest mass participation event in history. So we’re turning off the lights on our buildings and we’re encouraging the people of Wellington to get involved. So what can you do? First, turn off your lights and appliances (get mum or dad to help) at home for Earth Hour and encourage other children to get involved too! We’re the first capital city in the world to celebrate Earth Hour so let’s show them how it’s done. For more information or to register for Earth Hour, visit http://www.earthhour.org.nz/.

    Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers.
