Earth Hour 2010

In just 26 days, I will be uniting with hundreds of millions of people all over the world in the fight against pollution and climate change. Last year during Earth Hour 2009 one billion of us stood together showing our support by turning off our lights for one hour. We became a powerful voice for action on climate change.

Earth Hour is a grassroots movement fueled by passionate people like you and me. Today we need that passion to raise the volume of our message during Earth Hour 2010.

I am so glad to know that 19 U.S. states are officially participating in Earth Hour! Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin are on board.

We've come together to change the world. To do that we must get everyone involved.
Can you get FIVE or more of your friends to join today? You can go to https://www.myearthhour.org/home or you can send a message to your friends via any of the social networks you belong to and try to raise awareness on this issue.
That’s what I am doing right now!!!

Turn out. Take Action.

Earth Hour. March 27, 8:30-9:30 p.m., local time.
By joining together, we will send a message for Earth Hour 2010 that will be heard for generations to come.
