As you all know, climate change is real and is drastically affecting our planet. While we are all aware of the daunting reality that is global warming, many of us have yet to actually do anything about it! Our leaders conveniently recognize the problem, but typically fail to act - which is partly our fault. As the next generation of leaders, we haven’t let our voice be heard in the conversation. Too often we are more concerned with what is going on in our own lives to take the time to speak up and contribute to a larger Cause, and global change. I know that I’m guilty as well.

One thing that my involvement in SocialVibe has taught me, is that the youth have a voice, and that everyone has the ability to influence the people around them. SocialVibe members reach an estimated 10 million people all around the globe (people who visit SocialVibe members blogs, MySpace, Facebook, etc.). That's 10 million people that listen to what we have to say! I urge all of you to watch the video above. The World Wildlife Fund has organized a world wide event called “Earth Hour” to make a statement to our leaders that we care about our planet and we want them to take action. On March 29th we are asking the SocialVibe community to join the “Earth Hour” movement and turn off your lights at 8p.m. (local time) for one hour. It may seem like a small thing, but sometimes it just takes one spark to ignite change! I urge you all to use your online influence to spread the message. You can go to www.earthhour.org to pledge your participation. Send us your Earth Hour photos and we will post them on the Vibe.
