Turn Off Your Lights For Earth Hour
8:30 P.M. TO 9:30 P.M. SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2011
Kingston will participate in Earth Hour in 2011. Between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26, lights will go off around the world to mark Earth Hour — a global event to acknowledge humanity's impact on climate change.
Kingstonians can celebrate Earth Hour together by turning off their lights and heading to Springer Market Square for the fourth annual volunteer-organized "Kingston Unplugged" concert. For more information on the concert please contact kingstonunplugged@gmail.com.
The City of Kingston will darken downtown at 8:30 p.m. in recognition of the WWF's Earth Hour.
Earth Hour originated in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. The campaign now reaches around the globe.
To add power to Earth Hour, residents are also being encouraged to register their participation in Saturday night's lights-out event at www.earthhour.org.
