This Saturday, the World Wildlife Fund and millions of people worldwide will take a moment – or an hour – to recognize the effects of climate change. It’s called Earth Hour, a worldwide effort to demonstrate a commitment to taking action in the fight against climate change – by making a whole bunch of people sit in the dark.
So consider this: Earth Hour is this Saturday, March 27th, at 8:30 p.m. What are you planning to do?
As always, Team Earth wants to help you take part.
Here’s an idea: Why not gather some friends and throw a party in the dark? Use your Earth Hour “blackout” party to raise participation in a global shout-out for smarter energy use.
In short, lend your voice by turning off the lights.
And if you do, here are 3 cool things to make your party bright:
1) Send an e-invite with purpose: link your invited guests here so they can make their Earth Hour pledge, and help their home country show off their commitment to a greener world.
2) Consider setting the mood with candles. (You’ll need some form of light, after all.) Starting today, in honor of Earth Hour and leading up to the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd, www.glassybaby.com will donate 10% of all sales with the promo code “TeamEarth” to Conservation International’s efforts to protect people and nature – and to slow climate change.
3) Once the gang’s all there, serve up a menu that’s good for the environment as well! The Global Warming Diet can clue you in with smart tips and sensible steps to make sure your hour in the dark shines bright!
And, hey, once the lights comes back on, encourage your dinner guests to log onto Team Earth, sign up and take more actions to fight climate change!
Take a few “Earth Hours” this weekend and help spread the word!
