Here is just a little follow up for all of us who participated in Earth Hour 2008 and information on the 2009 event-GREAT JOB!
One Hour, One Planet
"Congrats, Chicago! During Earth Hour, Chicago and Northern Illinois reduced their electricity consumption by 7 percent (or 818 megawatt hours)! That's the equivalent of eliminating 1.3 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions; saving 72,000 gallons of gasoline; planting 158 acres of trees; or taking more than 1 million cars off the road for an hour (courtesy of ComEd). What an accomplishment!
But we're not all that surprised.
The city of Chicago has amazed us time and time again during the build-up to Earth Hour. We watched with excitement as hundreds of businesses, organizations and individuals signed up to turn down their lights. Thank you, everyone, for your participation. Earth Hour Chicago will not be forgotten. Earth Hour was just the beginning. Across America and around the globe, we had tremendous turnout and success. Now it's up to you to keep us headed in the right direction.
Thank you - for March 29, and for every day from now until we win the fight to protect our planet. "
