JO DE MESSINA’S WEBSITE CELEBRATES EARTH HOUR, GOES DARK
Country music superstar Jo Dee Messina was announced as the Nashville Earth Hour 2009 celebrity spokeswoman to encourage people to turn off nonessential lights in their homes for one hour at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28, 2009. The songstress is taking her participation one step farther, and her website, www.jodeemessina.com will go dark the entire day of Earth Hour. When fans log onto the site, they will see a brief sentence about Messina’s participation in Earth Hour, and they will hear her new single, “Shine,” played continuously throughout the day. Messina’s web server has purchased certified Renewable Energy Credits representing 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool the servers running her website. Electricity for the servers is generated by wind power, which actually creates more power than the servers consume.
