The World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.

So far, 850 cities in the US have signed up to participate but as of today, only the cities of Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Carrboro, Dillsboro and Lincolnton from North Carolina are registered participants.

We need other NC organizations to step up! It's easy and all you have to do is go to http://www.blogger.com/www.earthhourus.org and register.

Let's fill up that map on the Earth Hour website!
