Switch off your lights and switch on to greener lifestyles as part of the 2017 Earth Hour.
That's the invite to people, workers, organisations and businesses in East Dunbartonshire.
WWF’s Earth Hour takes place on Saturday 25 March 2017 - from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.
It is an annual global celebration - celebrating its 10th anniversary this year - where people switch off their lights for 60 minutes to show they care about the future of our planet.
As part of the local efforts, the floodlights will be switched off at William Patrick Library in Kirkintilloch from 8.30pm-9.30pm.
The Council is firmly behind Earth Hour and is encouraging employees and members of the public to get involved.
The authority is committed to helping to improve the environment, with policies and projects covering local sustainability, biodiversity, recycling, Fair Trade, air quality and more.
This includes a Carbon Management Plan to tackle climate change and the devastating effects it is having on the planet. To help meet its carbon reduction target, and while Earth Hour preparations are underway, officers at the Council will be joining forces to examine options for introducing district heating to the area.
Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said, "I am pleased that we are once again supporting Earth Hour and hope as many residents and businesses as possible can join in.
"Earth Hour is not about how much energy is saved during the hour. Rather, it’s a chance to put the spotlight on the issues facing the planet and to inspire people across the world to live more sustainably.
"The ethos 'think global, act local' is an important principle when it comes to sustainability.
"The Council will join forces with millions across the world to show concern for climate change and a commitment to addressing it as part of Earth Hour on 25 March.
"In a visual and symbolic gesture, the floodlights at William Patrick Library will be switched off for the hour to serve as a reminder that reducing fossil fuel use is important, achievable and a responsibility that we all share.
"However, our efforts to preserve and improve the environment of East Dunbartonshire are not confined to just one hour - it's an ongoing process and we are playing our part."
This year marks 10 years since the first Earth Hour and 10 years since work began on East Dunbartonshire's first Carbon Management Plan.
