Earth Hour started in Australia five years ago and has since spread all over the globe. For an hour (8:30-9:30 p.m. local time), people everywhere will turn out the lights in an effort to increase awareness of Climate Change.

 

PA IPL board members are holding Earth Hour parties all over the state; to find one near you, call our office at 814-876-2597—or donate now, using the button to the right. Last year, I invited some musician friends to entertain us by fire and candlelight. We had a countdown at 8:30 (the kids loved this part) and I threw the main power switch; the house went dark and off went the children, playing flashlight tag. Check out the video from that party here.

 

Instead of a bottle of wine or flowers, we ask guests

for a 20 dollar donation to PA IPL. Everyone has fun and

your money goes to help congregations become more

energy efficient. Better yet, why not join PA IPL now?

Several Pennsylvania municipalities have made Earth

Hour proclamations—this past year, State College Mayor

Elizabeth Goreham presented the proclamation to PA IPL

Board member Bill Sharp.
