This Saturday from 8:30 - 9:30pm local time, millions of homes, businesses, organizations (Darien Library included!), and major landmarks will turn off their lights for 1 hour in a collaborative stand to raise awareness about conserving energy. It's a simple but effective way to show ourselves that with a flip of a switch, we actually can make a meaningful difference in the fight against global warming and educate each other about easy ways to green our lifestyles.Visit EarthHour.org for more information and ways to participate. Will you be joining in?
