Earth Hour 2010

  • Wednesday, 20 January 2010 11:49

(from an email received from World Wildlife Fund)

WWF Launches Earth Hour 2010!

World Wildlife Fund is proud to announce Earth Hour 2010 will take place Saturday, March 27, at 8:30 pm. National Monuments including Mount Rushmore, the Empire State Building, the Las Vegas Strip, and the Golden Gate Bridge have already pledged to participate but what we really need is for you to participate again.

Standing nearly one billion people strong, we made last year’s Earth Hour the single largest mass action in human history. This year we need you to grow it.

We have worked tirelessly to bring the international community, governments around the world and corporate leaders to the brink of breakthrough action on climate change in 2010. That's why it's so important we make our voice heard again.

Please join millions of people around the world in turning off the lights for Earth Hour to raise awareness and demand action to fight climate change. Grow the movement by sharing this message with your friends and family. Working together, we can overcome one of the greatest challenges facing our planet.

Visit our new site at EarthHour.org to access to videos and toolkits to help grow the movement as well as fantastic ideas on how to make Earth Hour a special event in your home, community or business.

As you may know, the Green Team has been in the process of installing programmable thermostats throughout the church in an effort to reduce our energy use and lessen our impact on God's creation.  We are beginning to see the results of our efforts and are encouraged by the impact that one idea can have.  We are also encouraging everyone to find ways at home to reduce consumption and energy use.
