“In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change. One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen.”
“Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, leaving them on is a vote for global warming.”
Earth hour is Saturday March 28, 8:30 PM – Wherever you live on the planet.
I am asking you to do your part to show our world leaders in a very visible way that we want them to take decisive action on climate change.
It’s easy, you don’t have to leave home, give any money or devote hours of your time.
All you have to do is turn off your lights for one hour on Saturday evening.
Here is what I have planned for my earth hour.
I will be turning off all of our computer equipment and shutting down my network, unplugging all of our other power consuming devices, turning off all the lights lighting a few candles and having a glass of wine (organic of course) by candlelight to toast mother earth.
This is the perfect opportunity for all of us to unplug!
Take advantage of it and spend time with your family. Light a candle, have some conversation and let everyone know that you are committed to positive climate change.

One of my agents brought this to my attention and I e-mailed all of our agents and ask them to participate. I think this is great! Thanks for posting it on Active Rain.
