Earth Hour - March 29th
March 26, 2008
Posted by CindyC in : Communities , trackback
On October 20, 2007, Lights Out SF supporters turned off their lights for one hour to raise awareness for conservation and climate change. Supporters handed out donated CFLs and even convinced the city to darken the bridges and TransAmerica building.
If you missed that opportunity, you will have the chance again this month to show your support for conservation. Lights Out SF is supporting Earth Hour (and World Wildlife Foundation) to turn off the lights on March 29th from 8 to 9pm.
Earth Hour started in Sydney last year and has gone global in 2008. Other large cities around the world like Chicago, DC, Toronto, Melbourne and Bangkok will also participate in the effort. So take the pledge, tell a friend and turn off your lights this Saturday night for our planet.

I like this idea, but I read (somewhere!) thath this could actually cause a power surge that could be damaging when all the participants turn their power back on. I there any credible information on this?
Joyce, no that is not true. I read on the Earth Hour site that the organizers have talked to the utilities about it and it will not cause any power surges. So go ahead and turn your lights out.
