Earth Hour 2009 Reminder March 28th 8:30-9:30PM

Earth Hour 2009 March 28th

This is a reminder that tonight Earth Hour invites one billion people in more than 2800 cities representing 83 countries to turn off their lights for one hour – tonight, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in their local time zone.

All you have to do to Vote Earth is turn your lights out for one hour tonight, Saturday, March 28 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm local time, in your city. Your light switch is your vote!

Earth Hour is about more than dimming lights for sixty minutes; it’s about making a commitment to reduce energy consumption throughout the year. 

So I got to thinking what ways can I help conserve energy that a normal person who is in a business can do below are a few tips to consider.

• Turn off your office lights even if your broker/manager pays for it, its still a waste to keep it on.
• Turn on your energy management on your computer which can result in saving hundreds each year.
• Use long lasting light bulbs.  They may be a bit more expensive but they last longer than regular light bulbs which ultimately help save you money in the long run.
