#27 Earth Hour

The World Wildlife Fund is celebrating their third annual 'Earth Hour.' This energy awareness campaign will once again get everyone to turn off all non-essential lighting and electronics for one hour on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 - 9:30 PM. To date there are 80 countries and 800 cities participating.. It is the largest planetary event in our history. To sign up and be counted go to http://www.earthhour.org/Homepage.aspx

This piece is about Earth Hour. The photo cut in two is a NASA shot of the earth at night. I divided it into the northern and southern hemispheres. Our country has 4% of the earths population and contributes 25% of all the energy emissions. It is kind of shocking to see the difference, and worth googling the real earth at night photo. I put a wire compact florescent light in the middle as a small token of what we can do to conserve energy.
