Earth hour 2009 is this Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 pm.

To participate, turn off your lights for one hour and help Mother Earth fight climate change.

Earth hour started in Sydney in 2007. More than two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights for one hour. This helped to send a powerful global message that it’s possible to take action on climate change. In just one year, Earth hour has reached more than 50 million people in 35 countries across 18 time zones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement. In 2009, the goal is to reach one billion people in 1000 cities worldwide.

btw, all year around you could help save energy & reduce your electricity bill using Snap’s CO2Saver. It is a lightweight program that manages your computer’s power usage when it’s idle, saving energy and decreasing the demand on your power utility. Download it here.

Mother Earth will thank you.

I would like to use this day as an opportunity and remind everyone about CO2 Saver. It is a lightweight application that automatically adjusts computer?s power settings when the computer is idle in order to reduce electricity usage (and bills) and by that decrease CO2 omission.

CO2 Saver was released nearly 6 months ago (on April 25th 2007) and since then helped save over 429,000 lbs of emission which equals to nearly 5000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Very impressive!

Those of you who have not installed CO2 Saver on their desktop and/or laptop yet should do it by clicking here.
