Commissioner John V. Kelly and The Nutley Department of Public Affairs and Health encourage all township residents to join them in “going dark” on March 26^th between the hours of 8:30pm – 9:30pm, to raise awareness to climate change.  Thanks to Mayor Tucci, of Nutley Parks and Public Property, all Nutley Municipal Buildings will go dark for the hour as well.

Every year, at 8:30 pm on the last Saturday of March, supporters in over 190 countries and territories unite, taking action on and raising awareness of the issues facing our one home.

But Earth Hour is more than just an hour for Earth - it's a movement for our own futures, for the benefit of people and planet

And it's not only a symbol of solidarity - it's a catalyst for change, harnessing the power of the crowd.  Earth Hour is now one of the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment

And as always, the safety of our residents remains a priority, please use flashlights in place of candles, for your safety and the safety of others.
