NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 12, 2009 - Mayor Karl Dean, recording artist Jo Dee Messina, officials from World Wildlife Fund, and dozens of local business owners and city leaders today called on all Nashvillians to make a positive statement for our environment by turning off all nonessential lights for one hour on March 28.
