Support Earth Hour 2009 - Turn Off Your Lights!

If you've ever wanted to help out environmental causes, but feel frustrated since you don't have enough time to take care of everything you need to for yourself, much less volunteer, and you sure don't have enough money to donate (not to mention you don't get any tax kick back like the rich itemizers do), finally, here's something anyone can do! Earth Hour started in Sydney, Austrialia in 2007 as an idea that anyone could do to save natural resources and raise environmental awareness. People turned off their lights for one hour from 8-9PM. It was successful and gained global attention, with many other cities and businesses around the world participating in 2008, with over 50 million people in all 7 continents participating in events ranging from huge gatherings to quiet candlelit family time at home. On the website you can sign up to participate in 2009 from 8:30-9:30 PM (in your local time zone) on Saturday March 28 and get regular info updates if you want them.
