Join WWF in celebrating Earth Hour this year.Earth Hour, an international event started by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in 2007, engages businesses and households to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour on the last Saturday of March every year.
It aims to educate the global community about the threats of climate change and how easy it is for individuals and businesses to make small changes to the way they live and operate.
In 2008, Earth Hour reached out to more than 400 cities with 50 million adults participating in the initiative. Major icons went dark including the Sydney Opera House, Romes Coliseum, and Antarcticas Scott Station.
The symbolic "lights out" initiative echoes the objective of millions like us to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.
This year, Earth Hour will take place on Saturday, 28 March 2009 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, local time and aims to reach out to 1 billion people across 1000 cities.
Lets support Earth Hour 2009 - 60 Mins of being together with the rest of the world.
