A few minutes ago, Englewood started earth hour. This is Englewood's 1st year participating in this worldwide event and thousands of people had their eyes on Downtown Englewood at 8:30 PM. Due to some technical issues with the power station and all the clocks being out of sync, the lights were turned off at 8:32 PM.

Englewood's mayor released this statement shortly after the lights were turned off "Englewood is proud to participate in this worldwide event and we want to show a good example to other cities in Parkland, and we we hope the rest of the major cities in Parkland can participate in the future"

Here is a Photo taken by airplane shortly after the lights were turned off.
