Don't forget to turn your lights out tonight!

Earth Hour US - Earth Hour 2008

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., 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 Fund.

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, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. View cities involved around the world.

We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (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? We have lots 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!

Oh, THAT'S why Google was black today. We will be able to do it, but we'll have to keep the TV on. We promised DD we'd watch "Enchanted."

We did it too. My 7 year old was into it - they had told them about it at school - so he went running around turning everything off a few minutes before. My dh was grumbling about turning off the basketball game but he got over it. We lit some candles and told some stories. It was nice. My 2 year old had a grand time. He didn't even ASK why all the lights were off - he just went with the flow. Must be nice to be 2 and have every day as a new adventure.
