Earth Hour - March 27, 2010

In case you missed it, Earth Hour took place on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Earth Hour is when everybody is asked to turn out their lights for one hour from 8:30 PM until 9:30 PM. The timing is dependent on where you are.

The lights went out in Johnstown at 8:30 PM and three hours later, they went out in Vegas. Well, they didn’t turn out all of the lights.

I had the opportunity to be in Las Vegas over the weekend and got to see a rare sight… all the major hotels killed their exterior lights for Earth Hour.

At 9:30 PM, they all turned right back on.

It was kinda cool because I came out of the New York, New York Casino and everyone was talking about it. Nobody seemed to know why the lights were out. Occasionally, you’d hear somebody mention the event.  The picture to the left is of the actual casino and their big video screen in the dark.
