According to a City of Oshkosh release, the city will be observing Earth Hour by turning off non-essential lights in the city on Saturday, March 27th from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Residents are also encouraged to turn off non-essential lights as part of this global initiative. In conjunction with Earth Hour a mayor’s proclamation announcing the city’s involvement in the event was announced at the Tuesday, March 23rd Oshkosh Common Council meeting.

In 2009, nearly one billion people from 4,100 cities in 87 countries turned out their lights for Earth Hour. Working together, the citizens of Oshkosh can send a positive message that we care about the environment.

Additional details on the Earth Hour initiative are available at www.EarthHour.org.

Mine is an earth half hour I guess - just got the gals to bed and forgot - we'll lightless now, although my IPOD light is showing Andrew Bird and my laptop is showing Northern Iowa only down by 2. Guess I'm not fully committed.

Oh, my wife has now informed me that it is important to actually read the information in the announcement. We have another day to wait. Well, maybe a few extra folks turned off their lights tonight too.

Thank you for the reminder.

Oshkosh is pulling double duty! haha. Tonights the night (again, maybe)!
