Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM on March 28, 2026, as Earth Hour in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 1372) requests Governor Hochul to officially declare 8:30-9:30 PM on March 28, 2026, as "Earth Hour" across New York State. It asks the Governor to encourage residents, businesses, and landmarks to turn off non-essential lights for one hour, aligning with the global Earth Hour initiative started by the WWF in 2007. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about environmental protection and climate action, without creating new laws or requirements. It directly affects all New Yorkers through the Governor's symbolic proclamation, not through binding policy changes.
