#EARTHHOURMARCH 28 8:30PM

Earth Hour unites people to

protect the planet

Each year, people, cities,

and businesses from

around the world turn off

their lights for one hour to

create a visual statement

that we care about

protecting our planet

1. Turn off your office’s

non-essential lights for

one hour starting at

8:30 pm on March 28th

2. Spread the word to your

customers and

employees about

Earth Hour

Verizon has celebrated

Earth Hour by darkening

hundreds of buildings

across the world for one

hour and has made a

challenge to their

employees.

If 3,000 employees pledge

to participate, Verizon will

plant 3,000 trees through a

partnership with the NGO

American Forests

Google.com changed the

background color of their

homepage in 2008 to black

in order to raise awareness

the day before the event.

The tagline of the page read

“We've turned the lights out.

Now it's your turn –

Earth Hour”

In addition to turning off the

lights that adorn its factory

store, Ghirardelli Chocolate

Company in San Francisco

will hold a dark chocolate

tasting at their iconic

location along the bay as

part of its #GoDark Earth

Hour Party for customers.

The company has raised

awareness through

dimming or turning off lights

in certain areas of their

stores, and promoting

discounts on energy-

efficient products.

Some stores have even

hosted “solar-power-lit”

dinner events for customers

and employees.

Timex created an interactive

public webpage to collect

and share pledges from

visitors on how they will

spend their Earth Hour.

In support of the event, for

each pledge made, Timex

will donate $1 to WWF’s

Earth Hour team.
