| The Key West City
Commission, Last Stand, GLEE, and other business and
civic groups have pledged to participate in Lights
Out America – Earth Hour.
Earth Hour is a global climate change
initiative begun by World Wildlife Fund, calling on
individuals and businesses around the world to turn off
their lights for one hour on Saturday, March 29th,
from 8 to 9 pm (local time). Here's a link to
WWF's
Earth Hour website. (site may load slowly)
The aim of the campaign is to express
that individual action on a mass scale can help change
our planet for the better. Making a commitment to turn
out lights for one hour is a symbolic and pragmatic
gesture intended to raise awareness on this day and to
encourage greater energy conservation practices all year
long.
A Key West restaurant participating in
Earth Hour 2008 is The Café, on Southard Street.
They'll offer candlelight dinner during this hour to
show their support of the Earth Hour initiative.
