Earth Hour

So how many of you will participate at 8:00 PM tonight? Turn off the lights for one hour! I plan to.

On March 29, 2008 at 8 PM, join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fun.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments, and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate.

They are encouraging everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 PM (your own local time)– whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.

What will you do when the lights are off? Go to the site and read the long list of ideas.

Join people all around the world in showing that you care about our planet and want to play a part in helping to fight climate change. Don’t forget to sign up and let us know you want to join Earth Hour.

One hour, America. Earth Hour. Turn out for Earth Hour!
