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

Participating Countries Reaches 120!

With the addition of Guam to the countries participating in Earth Hour we now stand at 120 countries and territories world wide that will turn their lights off in support of global action on climate change!

Thank you to everyone who has been working to get the word out about Earth Hour in the CNMI. We have two more days to go before the big event, so keep working hard and lets make Earth Hour 2010 a huge success.
