Earth Hour takes place from 8:30
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 23rd. Can you imagine looking at a vision of lights going out through each
time zone across the world one hour at a time? That’s what happens when we join together to power down. So far, in our
efforts to power down and save energy through our relationship with Earth Hour,
we’ve saved over 50,433,069 kWh of energy and eliminated 77,666,926 pounds of
CO2. That’s like removing
almost 7,000 cars from our busy roads! By turning off your lights
for just 60 minutes on March 23 you can take positive action for the
environment and inspire others to do the same!
Earth Hour is an invitation to change the world. By carrying out additional ways to conserve and save energy, you can make the symbolism of Earth Hour come alive throughout the year and create significant positive environmental impact.

Take a look at this
video from Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona which aims to show
how easy it can be to save a half million dollars in energy.
