Going Dark for Earth Hour

by Joe Bartmann on March 12, 2010

SF Green Project is teaming up with our partner The First National Bank in Sioux Falls to coordinate Earth Hour in our community. In a bold statement of collective concern for our country, our planet and our future millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for one hour–Earth Hour–on March 27, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. local time.

Help send a powerful message that environmental sustainability is a priority for all of us.

The Green Project and The First National Bank in SF are proud to be official supporters of Earth Hour 2010. On March 27, we will be going dark along with many other companies, organizations and families in Sioux Falls, including the City of Sioux Falls, Cherapa Place, Hoawlt McDowell Insurance, Koch Hazard Architects so far.
