Earth Hour: An interesting idea and a statement worth making



Transcript of Cate Blanchett's voiceover:
This year, the world's first global election is taking place, an election between Earth and global warming. It's not about what country you are from, but what planet you are from. Your light switch is your vote. We need one billion votes for earth, because our planet is worth saving. Vote Earth by simply switching off your lights for one hour and join the world for Earth Hour. Saturday March 28th, 8:30-9:30pm.

For more information, go to www.earthhour.org or www.voteearth2009.org. For more on Earth Hour in the United States, check out www.earthhourus.org. Lexington isn't listed as a participating city, but I hope people will hear about and join this historical campaign.

Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers. Check it out at www.commit21.com
