Condo Company Recognizes Earth Hour!

What happens when the lights go waaay down low? Hmm...

Find out this Saturday, March 29, at 8 p.m. (your local time) by joining people around the world in Earth Hour, a 60-minute effort designed to make a positive impact on the environment.

Turn off your lights and all non-essential electric devices for just one hour. Don't forget all the electronic items that might be charging or in sleep mode, like computer monitors, computer speakers, video game controllers, cable boxes, etc.  Turn 'em off or just unplug them, because even these low-drain items add up to an enormous amount of wasted electricity when considering the millions of similar devices around the country and the world.

Global climate change is real, and even though research and opinions differ as to the ultimate cause, there's no denying that taking certain steps (during Earth Hour and into the future) can help the environment. That's something worth doing, regardless of theories or politics.

So get involved, have some fun, and save some energy. You'll be joining participants in 25 major cities around the world, including Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and San Fransico here in the U.S.  And of course, your friends at OwnACondo.com will also be taking part.
