Switch off your lights
for 1 hour!!!
People across the world from all walks of life
will turn off their lights & join together
in celebration & contemplation of
the one thing we all have in common - our planet.
On Saturday, March 27, 2010, Earth Hour inspired hundreds of millions of people to come together & take a strong stance against climate change & global warming.
Starting at 8:30 p.m., local time, Earth Hour cascaded around the globe with people, organizations, corporations, schools & governments uniting to turn off their lights in a statement of concern for our planet & future.
- Earth Hour started in March 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes & businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change.
- In March 2008 Earth Hour became a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.
