“On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.
With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement ”

I urge everyone wherever you are in the world, to participate in this free, simple but nature-altering global event. Simply flick a switch off anything electronical: lights, TV, computer, air-cond, etc. for an hour.
This Saturday, March 29 2008, 8.00 - 9.00pm (your local time)
You are not alone, at every time zone, Earth Hour will commence
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
Get involve, spread the news because everyone of you…
makes the difference.
