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, “it’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.”

I've added a huge banner about Earth Hour, which I found through this site: www.voteearth2009.org/home/
I joined last year's Earth Hour and that one hour was time well spent not only for the planet but for me and my mom. We spent the hour talking in the living in the dark.. It was really a memorable time for me, sharing my thoughts with her about what is happening today in all aspects of life and society, especially pressing matters such as environmental issues.
"Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."
