Earth Hour countdown


Want to participate in a global phenomenon and work together for a future with cleaner air? In three days and 4 hours, at 8:30 p.m. local time on March 27 we encourage you to participate in Earth Hour 2010.
Call for action on Climate Change by turning off your lights for one hour.
The Empire State Building and 54 states and territories will do it this year.
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, and during the past three years the World Wildlife Federation has taken this idea to a global level.

Every drop counts

Did you know that an American home can waste, on average, more than 10,000 gallons of water every year due to running toilets, dripping faucets and other household leaks?

Nationwide, more than 1 trillion gallons of water leak from U.S. homes each year. That's why WaterSense is promoting Fix a Leak Week March 15-21, to remind people in the United States to check their plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks.
