Phoenix, Google, fade to black tonight

By Angelo Fernando on March 29th, 2008 In Hype!

Tonight here in Phoenix, at 8 pm we joined Dubai, Melbourne, Copenhagen and Tel Aviv for Earth Hour. As Erin Zlomek of The Arizona Republic observed of the Chase ballpark, “Tonight, the well-known circular landmark melted into a sky of black.”

Meanwhile, another “landmark,” the white Google.com home page turned black too for an hour. Online, one Wikipedia editor whined that doing this for one hour was of no value. “Think of Earth every minute not just once a year for an hour! Take your bike, turn off lights whenever possible… There’s so much you can do every day!” Said the Googleplex: “we strongly support the Earth Hour campaign, and have darkened our homepage today to help spread awareness of what we hope will be a highly successful global event.”

Nice job, Phoenix.
