Earth hour coming up March 28 @ 8:30 pm

[Guest guest]

Some yogis are interested in caring for our beautiful Gaia, and so I am passing

this along:

 

On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, I am taking part in Earth Hour-a global

event in which millions of people will turn out their lights to make a statement

of concern about our planet and climate change. I want to invite you to join,

too! Sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour got started just two years ago

and is now the largest event of its kind in the world. Last year, more than 50

million participated and the lights went out at the Empire State Building, the

Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and the Coliseum in Rome, just to

name a few. Even Google's homepage went black for the day! In Israel, President

Shimon Peres personally turned off lights in Tel Aviv.

 

This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger-already 250 cities in 74 countries

have agreed to take part including Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,

Miami and Nashville with more signing up every day. Around the world cities like

Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico City will turn out their lights.

 

But Earth Hour isn't just for big cities-anyone can participate. To get a better

sense of the event, check out this video at
