Green Exchange is proud to be a sponsor of Earth Hour, a global initiative designed to raise awareness about climate change and to demonstrate that by working together, we can make a difference.

On February 15th, Mayor Daley announced that Chicago is the official flagship city for this important worldwide event where for one hour Saturday, March 29th – from 8 p.m to 9 p.m. — residents, businesses, landmarks and organizations are being asked to voluntarily turn off their lights to reduce energy consumption.

I don’t know about you but count me in!

An hour of no lights is not bad as you think. You can still watch TV if you like, or have dinner with candle lights.

A small one hour worth of saved electricity may not seem a lot but if you multiply that by the number of participants, that’s definitely a lot. I just wish a huge number of families participate in this small effort. If you have a blog, and email list, an egroup, kindly help spread the word. I’m doing my share by blogging about this event, so what’s your share?
