MiniMonos is switching off for Earth Hour
At 8.30pm on 27 March 2010, people across the world will turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. This is an easy way to save energy and if done by many many people all around the world it will make a big difference to our environment!
This year people will also be asked to think more about the earth in their everyday lives and make a pledge to start doing something bigger. At MiniMonos Island we know that many of you are already taking better care of the world around us.
So we thought you would understand why we think everyone should turn off their computers for an hour! Instead of playing online, you can maybe go kick a ball, climb a tree, fly a kite, play cards, play a board game, tell a story, look at the stars.....
How to get involved
You can take part by switching off all lights and appliances that are not super-important in your home at 8.30pm on Saturday March 27. That is, at 8.30pm your time, wherever you are!
The MiniMonos family of monkeys thought about what we could do – and have decided to turn off all the power on MiniMonos Island for an hour. Since most of our monkeys live in the USA, we decided that the most meaningful thing to do would be to turn off for an hour at 8.30pm PST.
Here's something everymonkey can do - take the time to go around your house now, and turn off appliances in the house that are not being used. You may not know that they still use power even when they are on standby! By turning them off at the wall you will save your family money, and reduce carbon emissions by reducing the need to generate more electricity.
Earth Hour is a message of hope and action. Imagine what we can achieve when we all act together!
Don’t Join us on Saturday March 27 PST at 8:30pm for Earth Hour 2010! LOL
