This Saturday, March 28th at 8:30pm local time (wherever you are on earth), tens of millions of people from all over the earth will be switching off their lights to make a statement against global warming. EARTH HOUR is your opportunity to use your light switch as a voting mechanism. As the organizers put it “Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.”
The town of Fairfield, CT will be supporting this event by encouraging town residents to participate and turn off the lights for 1 hour between 6pm and 11pm. The town plans to turn off the lights at Old Town Hall and Sullivan Indepence Hall from 7pm to 8pm.
First Selectman Kenneth A. Flatto said "By doing our part in turning off our lights, the town of Farifield and its residents will take a stand in seeking to find solutions to climate change."
