Qwest, Grubb & Ellis sign on to switch off for Earth Hour

For the second consecutive year, Qwest and Grubb & Ellis, the property manager for the Qwest headquarters building in Denver, are participating in “Earth Hour,” an international effort to raise awareness of the importance of energy conservation.

On Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the iconic blue Qwest light in Denver's skyline will go dark for one hour and all office lights at the 1801 California St. building will be extinguished as a symbolic way to show support.

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is urging city residents and businesses to join this effort. You can make a difference and raise awareness of your own energy use by switching off your lights and nonessential appliances in your home from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. this Saturday.
