word on the street is that most of the major monuments in Washington DC will go dark for the hour; I am thinking of heading to the Hudson River to watch Manhattan go dark ... last year was a start for us in the states - let's see how dark we can make Earth Hour 2009!

    1 billion people worldwide will turn off their lights for one hour, from 20h00, for Earth Hour 2009.

    On 28 March 09 the movement is hoping that a total of 1 billion people worldwide will turn off their lights for one hour, from 20h00 to 21h00 (SA time), for Earth Hour 2009, a global event using mass action to campaign against global warming and climate change. Earth Hour is not about saving electricity. According to the official website, β€œit’s much broader than that – it is a symbolic action to show governments that the people of the world want an effective global climate deal at the end of 2009.”
