Bill > J01372

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim the hour between 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM on March 28, 2026, as "Earth Hour" within the state. This action aligns with the global Earth Hour initiative, created by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), which encourages individuals, communities, and businesses worldwide to turn off non-essential lights for one hour as a symbolic gesture of commitment to protecting the planet. The resolution highlights the importance of raising public awareness about environmental issues, appreciating New York's natural resources, and recognizing everyone's role in environmental protection, noting that iconic New York landmarks participating in this event would significantly impact global awareness and inspire new ways of thinking about sustainable prosperity.
