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!!!

More info:

• Wel­ling­ton City Coun­cil press release
• 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!
