SAVE Encourages Participation in Earth Hour March 29
VALDOSTA - The Students Against Violating the Environment group
at Valdosta State University is encouraging the VSU and the
community to participate in the 2008 Earth Hour from 8-9 p.m.
Saturday, March 29.
Earth Hour has been officially dedicated to turning off lights all
over the world and S.A.V.E. encourages the campus community and the
citizens of Valdosta to be active participants in the effort.
Members agree this hour is a symbolic act of dedication towards
saving energy, and will deliver a compelling message about the need
for action toward the use of alternative energy forms.
S.A.V.E. members suggest students and families be creative with the
hour. Fill the time with enjoyable activities like stargazing and
candlelit games or take steps to improve personal energy
conservation by replacing traditional, wasteful light bulbs with
efficient compact fluorescents. Families and friends can also take
time to consider options for saving energy and improving habits
that affect the environment.
There are many ways to make a difference. For more information
about Earth Hour visit www.earthhour.com and for more
