	Dear Agriculture, We are working with farmers and policy makers to support agriculture’s role in fighting climate change. Farmer efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions—through conservation practices such as nitrogen fertilizer reduction, carbon sequestration, and the capturing of methane in digesters—can play a very important role in the nation’s approach to combating climate change. We are working with policy makers, agricultural leaders, and environmental agencies to help shape our approach to providing climate solutions in the United States.  You can make a difference too, just by turning out the lights. Our work with farmers for climate change inspires us to make changes in our own lives by decreasing our own green house gas emissions. That is why we wanted to forward you this message to turn out your lights for one hour tonight in a symbolic statement to each other and the world that we are ready to do what it takes to tackle the challenge of climate change!   Thanks, Jimmy Daukas Managing Director Agriculture & Environment American Farmland Trust On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, tens of millions of people throughout the world will turn out their lights to make a statement of concern about the future of our planet as part of Earth Hour, an event led by the World Wildlife Fund. Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and free. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for friends and families to gather together and think about the issues confronting our planet and the ways that we can work together to make a positive difference. Please join us in taking part in this inspiring event.
