Hafa Adai, Welcome to the CNMI Earth Hour website!

We need your help and support to show world leaders that the CNMI wants action on Climate Change. As an island nation the CNMI stands to be greatly affected by rising sea levels, increased drought, ocean acidification (which can harm our coral reefs), and other aspects of a warmer Earth. Stand with communities worldwide to promote action on Climate Change by turning off your lights between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 27th. Last year more than 4,100 cities, towns, and municipalities from 88 countries participated, and this year we would like to add the CNMI to that list.

In addition to turning your lights off on the 27th, take a moment to sign up below and add your name to the growing number of participants. Also please visit the main Earth Hour website at www.earthhour.org for more information and to keep up with what other countries are doing.

We will be updating this blog with news, upcoming events, and reminders as we get closer to March 27th, so add us to your favorites list and check back often.

If you would like to volunteer to help with Earth Hour events, would like to become a sponsor, or have recommendations for us please email Aric Bickel at aricbickel@deq.gov.mp

Help Us Spread the Word!

We need your help to spread the word about Earth Hour throughout the CNMI.

From the time of this posting there are only 24 days until Earth Hour 2010. After pledging your support by signing-up below, help us by spreading the word through your social and business networks. Tell you family, friends, and others to visit the website and pledge their own participation for March 27th. Visit www.earthhour.org/tools/TellTheWorld.aspx to download Earth Hour wallpapers, website banners, posters, and more that you can use to promote Earth Hour in the CNMI.

If you own a business or work in an office send out memos encouraging other employees to participate in Earth Hour. Ask owners and managers to participate by turning off non-essential lighting during Earth Hour. Talk to other business partners about their participation.

On our lovely islands word of mouth travels fast. Use it to help us promote Earth Hour!
