Earth Hour Sat 8:30 pm

Student Association encourages you  to save the date for Earth Hour 2009!

Earth Hour 2009
Saturday, March 28th
8:30pm - 9:30pm

It?s time once again to turn out and take action against global climate change. Nearly a billion businesses, organizations, schools and individuals around the world will turn off their lights on Saturday, March 28, at 8:30pm during Earth Hour, and we encourage you to join in.  SAIC will be participating by dimming the lights in classrooms and lounge areas that are not in use during this time frame.

Chicago is proud to return as a flagship city for Earth Hour, a global movement led by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and presented locally by ComEd. Last year, more than 2.7 million adults in the Chicagoland area turned off their lights, resulting in an electricity savings of 7 percent in the region ? the equivalent of taking more than one million cars off the road for one hour, or planting 158 acres of trees.

We hope you?ll help build on last year?s momentum by participating in this exciting global initiative. We encourage you to register your support at  www.earthhourus.org/chicago. You can also download outreach materials and get suggestions for Earth Hour activities.
