Hey, Brooklyn! On Saturday, Turn Off The Lights For One Hour And 'Vote Earth'

Hey, Brooklyn! Turn Off Your Lights.

(Brooklyn Borough Hall is doing it!)

Saturday, March 28th,
Between 8:30 to 9:30 PM

Vote Earth by simply switching off your lights for one hour
and join the rest of the world for Earth Hour!

My little family and I took part in this event last year and it felt really great. With candles flickering all around, we gathered in one room and enjoyed just talking to each other.
I am committed to taking part in the event again, but have guests coming over. I guess we will have a candle light dinner....

I was happy to learn that Brooklyn Borough Hall is also going dark, together with many other New York City landmarks.

This from the official Earth Hour Web Site:

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
