    From melting glaciers to increasingly intense weather patterns, we know that climate change is already impacting life on our planet.

    On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, we will take part in Earth Hour—the world’s largest global climate change event. By simply turning out all non-essential lighting for one hour at my home studio, we will join tens of millions of concerned citizens throughout the world in calling for action to save our planet for future generations.

    We’d like to encourage you to join us in this important and inspiring effort.

    Led by the World Wildlife Fund, more than 50 million people in 370 cities around the world took part in Earth Hour last year. The lights went out at Sydney’s Opera House, Rome’s Coliseum, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. Even the Google homepage went dark for the day.

    This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger. Cities large and small have said they’ll participate with more signing up daily. International cities such as Beijing, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rome, and Toronto are participating.

    To get a better sense of the magnitude and inspiring nature of the event, take a moment to watch WWF’s video about Earth Hour 2009 below.

    Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and absolutely free. To get more information and to sign up to for Earth Hour 2009, just visit www.earthhour.org and agree to turn out your lights from 8:30-9:30 pm on March 28, 2009.

    Energy efficiency isn’t just good for the bottom line. As citizens of the world, we all have a stake in the future of our planet and must seek to operate in ways that don’t deplete our world’s limited natural resources.

    We hope you’ll join us, and encourage people you know in the community to also take part. Don’t forget—March 28th at 8:30 pm, switch off.
