March is a crazy month. The madness that is college hoops is in full swing. Everyone has finished the last of the corned beef and cabbage and washed it down with leftover green beer. And now Saturday, the partying will be done in the dark…for a good cause.

Earth Hour.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. What has become an annual event, Earth Hour is a global call to action for every individual, business and community to stand up and focus on the responsibility of the future of our planet. For one hour on Saturday, March 27 at 8:30 p.m. local time,  switching your lights off will raise awareness for climate change.

Each Vantage employee has signed up individually to celebrate Earth Hour this year. For ideas on how you can get involved, there are how-to guides on the website.

How will you celebrate?
