In the midst of our March Madness, there are some larger pressing issues going around the globe. And, no, I'm not talking about the economic crisis (geez, who wants to hear more about that?).
This Saturday, the good folks at WWF are trying to get 1 billion people around the globe to turn off the lights for an hour to send a message that we are concerned about global warming through their "Vote Earth" campaign.
The results of the Vote Earth Campaign will be presented at the Global Climate Change conference in Copenhagen later this year. According to the website, this meeting will help to drive official governmental policy that will address climate change and global warming. This new policy will replace the Kyoto Protocol.
This may coincide with March Madness, but don't let that stop you...
It's like midnight bowling or hide 'n seek in the dark. It's more exhilarating with the lights out! I won't even pretend that I'm not going to be watching my underdog picks to make sure my brackets don't fall apart. But I can make a statement and send a message while I enjoy the Sweet 16. Sign up to make your own impact: Earth Hour - Vote Earth!

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. Check it out at http://www.commit21.com/
