Green Apple Festival April 17-19, 2009

Earth Day Network and Green Apple Festival have announced their 2009 plans for “America’s Largest Earth Day Action” - simultaneous events in ten US cities over Earth Day Weekend – April 17 through 19 – that will this year focus on environmental volunteerism. The service events, coupled with Earth Day on the National Mall in Washington, DC and free “Thank You” concerts for volunteers in each city, introduce “The Green Generation”, a two-year initiative that will culminate with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010.

Energy Saving Smart Surge Protector

Feeling guilty about leaving for the weekend and seeing your iPhone Charger, PC Speakers, Monitors, external Hard Drives, Printers, Shredders, Cordless Phones and Blackberry Charger plugged in, burning up energy?

There are several power strips with autoswitching to turn devices on/off automatically, saving you money on your electric bills, and energy.

Check out some smart switches which automatically turns your peripherals off, even if you're already half-way home.

The typical smart surge protector cuts an about 113 Kilowatts per month from your electric bill and can pay for itself with energy savings in about 3 months.

Earth Hour 2009

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.



VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour. www.earthhour.org
