Turn it off Tonight for an HOUR!

"Turn off that light when you leave the room! Turn off that TV!" my dad used to always say.

Im really big about turning off things in our house. Our son goes to school in the morning and leaves his TV on, His ceiling fan, lamp light and bathroom light on.
And I dutifully turn them off for him.
Now its more serious than our moms and dads thought.

Turning off these devices can actually save a lot of natural resources and make a big difference in our world. It always bugs me when I go to Dallas and see all the lights on the buildings at night, and I just know there is no one in them. Someone just left them on! AUGH!

"Earth Hour" is one hour each year when everyone is encouraged to turn off your lights, literally.
The World Wildlife Fund for Nature instituted this international event to raise awareness of the need for the whole world to work together to take action against climate change.


The WWF encourages households and businesses to turn off all non-essential lights and appliances for one hour - you can do that!

This hour usually takes place the last Saturday in March and, this year, will take place on March 28th from 8:30-9:30 p.m. local time.

2008 was the first year that this event achieved worldwide participation, uniting all countries with one goal: Preserving our limited Resources. (Coal mainly)
