Sustainability Is Fun
March 26, 2009
One of the criticism of causes like sustainability and environmentalism is that it’s too preachy and serious.
No Fun.
The gang at YERT prove otherwise.
YERT stands for Your Environmental Road Trip, and while it may seem counter-intuitive, they’ve been driving (yes, a car) all over the USA to try to raise awareness about sustainability. The car, by the way, was a hybrid.
They’ve hit all 50 states and have been making videos along the way.
Their web site is fun and refreshingly un-serious. Mark Dixon from YERT emailed to ask if we’d mention their YouTube video Earth Hour: Feel DePower, regarding EarthDay coming this Saturday 28 March at 8:30.
The video is also a good invite for you to get involved with Earth Hour.
It’s easy.
And it’s fun.

Earth Hour’s goal is to get all of us to turn off our lights at 8:30 on Sunday night, and …
raise awareness about climate change and demonstrate that people are ready to take personal action and that in turn, people expect more engagement on behalf of the government

Earth Hour was created by the World Wildlife Fund. The idea is that people around the world turn off the lights for one hour, at 8pm local time. [Read more]
