Chicago Earth Hour 2009

On Saturday, March 28, 2009, Chicago residents will join millions around the world in turning off their lights from 8:30-9:30 p.m. in a unified call for action to combat climate change. Last year, Chicago made its debut as a flagship city for Earth Hour. More than 2.7 million adults in the region turned off their lights to send a powerful message of concern about the planet and the effects of global climate change.
