#5  EARTH HOUR 2011 - It's time to go beyond the hour


"Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour...

...On Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Earth Hour 2011 will take place on Saturday 26 March at 8.30PM (local time). This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up."  1.

Thanks for the reminder about Earth Day! Also, thank you for the follow....I'm following you back! :)
I'm especially happy to find you because, like you, I don't have small children anymore. My 3 are teenagers, and the issues that come up in these years (not to mention the '40's!) are different.
Looking forward to following you!
Be blessed~

I did it, too, this year. I'd wanted to do it for a long time and kept on forgetting, but this year I made it a priority and told the world about it... The more people know about your intentions, the more accountable you feel. Following you back, thanks for visiting me at muminsearch.com.
