A news release from Miami-Dade County:
Miami-Dade County announced today that it will officially support Earth Hour 2009, a global climate event led by the World Wildlife Fund. More than 240 cities around the world have already committed to go dark for one hour on March 28, 2009 at 8:30 p.m., as tens of millions of people from all corners of the world unite in a call for global action on climate change.“Miami-Dade County is doing its part for Earth Hour 2009,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez said. “We want residents to know that we care about saving our natural resources and stand united in seeking to find solutions to climate change.”
During Earth Hour, Miami-Dade County will be turning off the lights for the Stephen P. Clark Government Center, Miami-Dade’s Courthouse, the County’s 140 and Hickman buildings. Miami’s skyline will go dark for one hour as individuals, businesses, government buildings, schools and major landmarks turn off non-essential lighting in what will be the largest climate event in history.
Miami-Dade County is making it easier than ever for residents to make a difference. With the County’s recently launched Going Green website, residents can learn about all things green such as the County’s new recycling program or take action by participating in the Biscayne Bay Clean up Day to help keep our beaches beautiful or have some good clean fun with one of the County's many Eco-Adventures.
