News Earth Hour Atlanta is tomorrow
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 4:59 PM
For one hour on Saturday, more than 400 buildings in metro Atlanta — along with 1,500 cities in more than 80 countries — will shut off their lights to participate in Earth Hour, a worldwide event to raise awareness about the impact our energy usage has on global warming.
Many trademark buildings, including the Fox Theater and Midtown's Bank of America building, will participate in the event. Organized by the World Wildlife Fund in cooperation with the City of Atlanta, tomorrow's event marks the second year the city's participated in Earth Hour. The lights will go dark from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.
For the best view of the darkened city skyline during Earth Hour, I recommend the Jackson Street bridge that stretches over Freedom Parkway. If you have some good suggestions, leave 'em in the comments.
