Earth Hour Chicago 2009
By admin | December 18, 2008
The Windy City returns as a flagship city for Earth Hour 2009 on March 28, when, from 8:30-9:30 p.m., households, organizations and businesses will turn off their lights and turn their attention towards the need for substantial, long-term action to raise awareness about energy efficiency and global climate change. This year’s event will be even larger than last year’s inaugural global Earth Hour event, as 73 cities in 62 countries have already signed on to participate in what the World Wildlife Fund has said will be the “largest climate event in history.” In anticipation of the event this year, I encourage you to check out this short YouTube video of highlights from Earth Hour 2008, which includes some great shots of Chicago’s participation:
While Earth Hour 2009 is still a few months away, we hope you will help us raise awareness about the event throughout Chicago and participate in Earth Hour 2009.
