\"Earth_hour\"<\/a>
\nFrom Away.com<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Consider this the environmental movement’s equivalent of the butterfly effect:
\nTurn off your lights for one hour this Saturday and you might help save a migratory bird from a fatal mid-air collision<\/a><\/strong> or prevent ice slabs seven times the size of Manhattan<\/a><\/strong> from
\ncalving off into the frigid Antarctic Ocean. It’s a big leap, admittedly, but
\nthe now-global Earth Hour deals in high-minded environmental action on a massive
\ngrassroots level. Scheduled for 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, Earth Hour 2008<\/a><\/strong> will see the
\nlights dim in 24 major cities and municipalities around the world, spanning five
\ncontinents and including Sydney<\/a><\/strong>, Dublin<\/a><\/strong>, Toronto<\/a><\/strong>, Chicago<\/a><\/strong> and San Francisco<\/a><\/strong>.
\nThe event seeks to raise awareness about global warming by encouraging
\nindividuals to conserve energy, and in doing so, consider other personal steps
\ntoward combating climate change.<\/p>\n

At least a dozen Chicago hotels<\/a><\/strong> and a San Francisco hotel<\/a><\/strong> are participating in the event.<\/p>\n
