Earth Hour at Wilmington College

This year, we will be hosting a series of events in conjunction with Earth Hour, the global awareness campaign that challenges us to turn off everything and unplug for one hour on March 27. After the jump is an excerpt from our Upcoming Events page about Earth Hour.

Earth Hour Events - Friday, March 26 & Saturday, March 27, 2010

Earth Hour is a global event meant to highlight the impact we have on our environment. From earthhour.org:

On Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people around the world will come together to call for action on climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. The movement symbolizes that by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in this fight, protecting our future and that of future generations.
