Let's play in the dark for a while.
Earth Hour – this Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm is a global event in which millions of people will turn out their lights to make a statement of concern about our planet and climate change. Join in by spreading the word to friends and colleagues and turn off your own lights!
Sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour got started two years ago and is now the largest event of its kind in the world. Last year, more than 50 million people participated and the lights went out at the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and the Coliseum in Rome, just to name a few. Even Google's homepage went black for the day.
This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger - already 250 cities, including Seattle, in 74 countries have agreed to take part. Around the world, cities like Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico City will turn out their lights.
