Your Chance to Switch Off the Lights

and Count the Stars

This Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. (your time) strike a blow for starry skies and switch off your lights. Join the Earth Hour movement and make a difference for our night skies. You’ll be joining people in 84 countries who have committed to do the same thing. Millions of stargazers just like you are turning off the lights and and enjoying the night sky for an hour.  They’re turning off the lights on the Capitol Records building in LA, the pyramids at Giza, La Tour Eiffel (and in all of Paris), and in places great and small around the world — in a wave of support.   So, no matter where you live, at 8:30 p.m. on March 28, 2009, turn ’em off and vote for darker skies.  Go outside and revel in the starlight — and notice how much you can see when the lights are out. Those are the skies we evolved under, folks.  We can do this.
