Earth Hour

On March 27, hundreds of millions of people around the world will come together to call for action on climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. The movement symbolizes that by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in this fight, protecting our future and that of future generations. Learn more about how Earth Hour began, what we’ve accomplished, and what is in store for 2010 at www.earthhour.org. 

During Earth Hour, international landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower and Great Pyramids have gone dark alongside the city skylines of Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv and more. To see it for yourself, check out this video: www.myearthhour.org/earth-hour-video.

But Earth Hour isn’t just for national landmarks and big cities—anyone can participate, whether it be individuals like you and me or schools, businesses, organizations, and our state and local governments. We hope you will join PEA and Winston-Salem for this amazing event and help send a message that the time for action on climate change is now. Please help us spread the word. Let’s switch off our lights and send a powerful message: by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in the fight against climate change.
