ACTION: EARTH HOUR 2008 - DKos Community Participation Requested

This won't be a long diary.  It's more of a heads-up and a simple Call to Action that's EASY for everyone to do.

I just saw a commercial on the National Geographic channel that advertised a March 29, 2008 event at 8:00PM (your local time) that I wanted to share, and hope you'll sign-up to participate.

       

LIGHTS OUT FOR ONE HOUR! organized by EARTH HOUR 2008

Current count is at 83,905 people that have "signed up" and 5,315 businesses.  Let's make those numbers jump.

There are lots of additional action items you can participate in.  Tell a Friend(s) - Create your own Earth Hour - Support.  Not to mention the all important Earth Hour Every Day.

So, I hope you'll Sign Up, Spread the Word, and Mark your Calendars!

On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year.

And one last little thing while I'm here.  If you happen to have a spare $10 lying around, you can purchase a net to safe a life at Nothing But Nets.org

MALARIA KILLS - YOU CAN HELP SAVE LIVES

Malaria kills more than 1 million kids a year.  For just $10 we can buy a net, distribute it to a family and educate them on its use.  You can save a family.  Your friends, school, church, or team can save a village.  Together we can cover a continent...

Now, back to your regularly scheduled candidate diaries.

Have a good one!  :o)
