Turn OFF your lights — 8–9pm tomorrow (Saturday)

Sup­port the Earth Hour ini­tia­tive tomor­row (Sat 28th) and turn off your lights between 8pm-9pm.

But it will be dark!
I know … fun eh!? Light can­dles, play spooky games (I rec­om­mend Were­wolf) or tell ghost sto­ries — in essence HAVE FUN!

And it’s not just about the lights, that’s the min­i­mum. If you can turn off any­thing else then do so — how about turn­ing off the com­put­er!!!

• New Zealand ‘Earth Hour’ Google news search …
• Offi­cial Earth Hour site

And final­ly — how do we feel about Christchurch being the offi­cial New Zealand Earth Hour rep … crap eh, it should be Welling­ton!!

Write to both Ker­ry Pren­der­gast (May­or — kerry.prendergast@wcc.govt.nz) and Ray Ahipene-Mer­cer (Port­fo­lio Leader: Cli­mate Change — ray.ahipene-mercer@wcc.govt.nz) ask­ing for a big push for 2009 — think of the cov­er­age we’ll get inter­na­tion­al­ly, all because you all got behind it and asked!
