Kirkland is joining cities and states around the world to raise awareness and demonstrate our nation’s commitment to fighting climate change by supporting “Earth Hour” from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on March 19.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour and join the City in pledging their support to climate protection.

In 2007, the Kirkland City Council adopted Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets and in 2009, the Kirkland City Council adopted the City’s Climate Protection Action Plan committing to the long-range goal of stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.
