(1888PressRelease) March 09, 2011 - Greystar announced today that they will switch off lights at many of their corporate offices and property offices across the United States in support of Earth Hour on Saturday, March 26 at 8:30 pm local time.

"Making progress toward a cleaner future will require changes from consumers and business," said Andrew Livingstone, Executive Director of Real Estate at Greystar. "Earth Hour is an important event that demonstrates that even small steps, when taken on a large scale, can make a difference. We are asking all of our employees, customers, business partners and residents to join us in switching off their lights and unplugging non-essential equipment for Earth Hour."

To generate more awareness of Earth Hour, Greystar is providing their employees with an opportunity to sign an online "light outs" pledge. Greystar employees will show their commitment to Earth Hour by wearing black and white the Friday prior to the event.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2 million people switched off their lights. Since then Earth Hour has made history as the largest voluntary action ever witnessed with participation across 128 countries and every continent, including the world's most recognized man-made marvels and natural wonders. Earth Hour is a global initiative in partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), to learn more we encourage you to visit http://www.earthhour.org/.
