Join Us in Supporting Earth Hour
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 09:26AM In keeping with our organizational values, the GRC Group makes a continual effort to minimize our carbon footprint and to support other organizations that are working to raise awareness and act upon the environmental pressures facing our planet. Because good governance encompasses being a good corporate citizen, we urge you to join the GRC Group in supporting Earth Hour this year.
The concept is simple. This Saturday, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, turn out the lights.
Earth Hour was launched in Australia in 2007, and gained a tremendous amount of momentum last year. Even Google "went dark" for Earth Hour, changing the background of their home page from white to black. The goal this year is to reach 1 billion people in 1,000 cities around the world.
It's easy to sign up as a company sponsor. Visit the Earth Hour website to show your organization's support of Earth Hour.
Here's a three-minute video that explains the history and purpose of Earth Hour:
