University calls for lights out, March 28

The university administration is calling for students, faculty, and staff to participate in Earth Hour. The announcement included in today’s issue of UT Arlington Today says: “Simply switch off your lights for one hour, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday March 28, and join the world for Earth Hour. The event began in Sydney in 2007, where 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008, the message grew to a global movement. In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote.”
