In keeping with the efforts to keep you informed of events that may be of interest, here is the EARTH HOUR INVITATION from the Columbia Climate Change Coalition. If you have questions, please respond to Monte Welch. Her contact info is towards the end of this email. Thanks for your time!
EARTH HOUR IS COMING TO COLUMBIA! GET ON BOARD NOW!!
MAYOR PROCLAIMS EARTH HOUR!! URGES COLUMBIANS TO JOIN IN!!
"What is Earth Hour?" It's a day and an hour that will circle the globe, as major cities around the world darken their lights and cut back on other non-essential electricity, to make a statement that global climate change is a global problem and we need to "step it up" and make changes, now, to reduce the human impacts expected to be contributing to global climate change. It's a symbolic act that began in Sydney, Australia, last year and, one year later, has grown to include cities around the world!! Sydney sparked a movement, along with keeping 25,000 tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere---the equivalent of keeping over 43,000 cars off the road for the same period!!!
