Earth Hour 2009

On March 28, at 8:30pm local time, one billion people will go dark for Earth Hour. World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.

Already hundreds of icons and landmarks around the world have signed up to turn their lights off for Earth Hour 2009 including - the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Sydney Opera House, Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens and The London Eye, among many others.

Click here to be part of the global lights out.

WOAK Cablecast

There is information regarding video/film submissions for the districts' WOAK cablecast station. The topic of your film does not, of course, need to be of a green theme - that just happens to be the focus of our group. The station is seeking new cablecast material for the station.

Here is fun web-site for kids with many great links!!!!!!

Recycling Christmas Lights 

As you're cleaning up from the holidays and deciding what to do with light strands that no longer light, think about recycling them.

You do have to pay to mail them to the company, but the lights don't end up in a landfill, the proceeds from the sale of the lights goes to Marine Toys for Tots, and you get a 10% discount from the lighting company. Good karma all the way around!
