On March 28, it'll be time for the lights to go down in the city once again.
After its resounding success last year, Earth Hour's 2009 event is almost here. Event organizers are asking everyone to turn off all their lights, computers, televisions and anything using electricity to help promote energy conservation. The hour-long electricity freeze will take place from 8:30-9:30 p.m. and it's hoped that a billion people worldwide will participate.
"In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change," says the official Earth Hour website. "One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen."
You can either visit the official Earth Hour website by clicking here or join one of their many social media profiles on networks including: Facebook, Youtube, Myspace, flickr and Twitter.
Please join in on this event and send a message to our world leaders!
