Lights Out in Charlotte Saturday, March 28th

Everyone likes to feel as if we are contributing to this planet of ours. Well, we all have a chance this weekend. Charlotte will be one of thousands of cities participating in Earth Hour this Saturday, March 28, in an effort to promote energy awareness.
Earth Hour asks people to turn off the lights for an hour – but save energy all the time.
At 8:30 p.m. Saturday, nonessential lights will be doused at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, the Education Center, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police headquarters, Duke Energy and at least some uptown towers, including Gateway Village, Charlotte Plaza and the Carillon.
A number of other government buildings will do the same. Charlotte Center City Partners is asking uptown businesses and residents to join in.
