Turn The Lights Off and Stop Global Warming
Want to help save the planet from global warming? Then join in with the millions of others on March 27th, by simply turning off your lights. For exactly one hour starting at 8:30 and ending at 9:30, many cities across the globe will turn off their power for the cause known as the Earth Hour. This special hour will bring awareness to the world about the changing of the climate and also allow many to take part in the effort to help the environment. And anyone will be able to do so by just the flip of a switch.
The Earth Hour began in Sydney Australia three years ago and since then it has spread from continent to continent. With its growing popularity across the globe the WWF, the organization that runs the cause, hopes, ”To stop the degradation of the Earth’s natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.” http://www.earthhour.org/About.aspx. And this year the WWF will have many more supporting cities to help build that future for the world. The Earth Hour has about five million supporters this time around and the U.S. has a big chunk of those supporters to make this night have a successful blackout.
U.S. states like California and New York, and the cities of Houston and Las Vegas are just a few of the supportive parts of America that will take part in the Earth Hour. Like the other 114 countries, the U.S. will be shutting down power to buildings, bridges, and also famous landmarks. The Empire State Building will be one of the many landmarks along with the Golden Gate Bridge. http://www.myearthhour.org/news/article/03/22/2010/cities-landmarks-across-california-turn-out-lights-wwf%E2%80%99s-earth-hour-saturday.
This will be the hour for our world. The hour that will bring darkness to our usual bright lit cities, while at the same time it will shine light upon the possible answer that can rid our planet of climate change.
