CEI - Earth Hour vs. Human Achievement Hour - Sat, March 31

You're invited! Human Achievement Hour Saturday, March 31 8:30 p.m. Worldwide

On Saturday March 31st 2012, some people, businesses, and governments will shut off their lights for one hour as a symbolic "Earth Hour" gesture against global climate change. We think this sends the wrong message and represents a rejection of human innovation and progress. 

Instead, join the Competitive Enterprise Institute for Human Achievement Hour – an annual celebration of individual freedom and appreciation of the achievements and innovations that people have used to improve their lives throughout history. 

During Human Achievement Hour, 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. - enjoy the benefits of capitalism and human innovation.  Keep your lights ON for Human Achievement Hour!

You can also utilize one of man’s greatest achievements, the Internet, to join CEI’s in-house party, which will live stream at www.cei.org/hah beginning at 8:30 pm EST. You can use the chat function to tell us how you are celebrating human achievement in your neighborhood.

During Human Achievement Hour, enjoy the benefits of capitalism and human innovation.  Spend that hour with your lights *on*!

CEI - Lights ON for Earth Hour - Celebrate Human Achievement Hour!

"Earth Hour" is coming up this Saturday evening, and you may have noticed certain businesses, celebrities, and environmental groups urging "lights out" for an hour, ostensibly to call attention to global warming.  You may think this sends the wrong message - to plunge us all into darkness as a rejection of technology and human achievement.  We sure thought so.  Or, as my colleague Michelle Minton and others have aptly noted, it's Earth Hour every day in Communist North Korea, where people lack basic freedoms, as well as affordable, reliable access to many human achievements, such as electricity. 

 

Good news is, there's now an alternative to Earth Hour - it's called Human Achievement Hour!  A celebration of all that humans have accomplished.  What can you do to participate?

• In honor of HAH, leave your lights on, Saturday, March 27, at 8:30pm! 
• Tweet or blog about it, and let us know about how you observed that hour. (#HAH2010).
• Follow HAH on Twitter, Twitter.com/hah_2010
• Join HAH on Facebook
• If you're in the Washington, DC area, join us for a cocktail hour celebrating HAH.
• Read Michelle Minton's commentaries on specific human achievements, on Openmarket.org

Happy Human Achievement Hour!
