Going Green: Earth Hour

Earth Hour, was started last year in Sydney, Australia with the intention of curbing Global Warming. By turning off non-essential lighting, Sydney's energy consumption was reduced by up to 10.2% for one hour. That is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cards off the road for an entire year!

This year, Earth Hour has gone global, and Geile/Leon is bringing the initiative to St. Louis in the form of a Power Hour. It's a rally that will be held annually to bring everyone together to celebrate Earth Hour. The first annual will be at J.Buck's in downtown Saint Louis from 7 to 10pm on Saturday March, 29, 2008.
