"Earth Hour is a global event created to symbolize that each one of us, working together, can make a positive impact on climate change - no matter who we are or where we live. Building off the program that was piloted in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, the event will be replicated in over 12 cities worldwide in 2008."

Earth Hour will be from 8-9p.m. this week March 29th 2008.

"- Cities around the world will join together in literally turning off the lights for one hour to offer leadership and symbolize their commitment to finding climate change solutions.
- Lights will be turned off at iconic buildings and national landmarks from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Local businesses and restaurants will also be asked to turn off their lights.
- People at home can take advantage of the hour by replacing their standard light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs."

Here is the email the BNT sent out about Earth Hour:
"The Bahamas National Trust in partnership with RBC Royal Bank of Canada and RBC FINCO is pleased to announce their partnership in an exciting environmental initiative called Earth Hour. Earth Hour is coordinated by the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) to symbolize that individuals can make a difference in the fight against climate change. The event will take place on March 29, 2008 and cities around the world will turn off their lights at 8:00 p.m. local time for one hour.
Earth Hour began as a one-city event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. This year, it will take place across six continents and in as many as 20 flagship cities. The idea is for everyone to turn off all non-essential lights for an hour –– whether they’re at home or at work.
BNT would like to encourage participation in this initiative. In addition, if your business would like to participate in Earth Hour and make a statement in the fight against climate change, please email us at bntmembership@bnt.bs or contact the BNT Office at 393-1317.
Let’s make a difference together!"
