Earth Hour began in 2006 in Sydney, Australia as a symbolic act of awareness about climate change. The city went dark for an hour as huge numbers of people participated by turning off their lights. In the past three years, the event has grown with the participation of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and now people across the world are encouraged to participate!
Everyone is simply asked to turn off their lights for one hour beginning at 8:30pm (local time) as a "Vote for the Earth." Visit their website http://www.earthhour.org/home/ to learn more ways you can participate, such as uploading photos & videos, blogging and more.
So what have you got to lose? Enjoy the night sky...sit around an oil lamp and play cards...tell stories or go on a night hike. The Earth will thank you for it!
