Earth Hour, cont.

I wanted to direct your attention to a comment that was made in yesterday's post re: Earth Hour. The Commit21 website lets you take the concept of Earth Hour one step further. Rather than simply switching off some lights, you can commit to doing something for the environment during Earth Hour. Some of the groups include a group committed to changing lightbulbs over to energy efficient bulbs and a group committed to making a more concerted recycling effort. And once you've joined a group, you can pester all your friends/family/people-in-your-Outlook-contacts by emailing them to do the same!

It's a great way to do something extra during Earth Hour.

Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers.
