Earth Hour 2014


On the evening of March 29, the Friends of High Point State Park are once again participating in Earth Hour. The lights on the monument will be turned off for the ENTIRE NIGHT in honor of Earth Hour. 

Learn more about Earth Hour and how you can make a difference! 

Earth Hour started in 2007 in SydneyAustralia, when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour. The grassroots movement to raise awareness for the Earth has been growing ever since. On March 27, 2010, Earth Hour set a record when 4,500 cities in 128 countries joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from all over the world such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, and Buckingham Palace switched off. People from all walks of life across the world turned off their lights and came together in celebration of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. In 2013, participation in Earth Hour grew to include more than 7,001 cities and towns in 154 countries and territories across all seven continents.

Spider-Man is the first Superhero Ambassador for Earth Hour.
