Are you turning off your lights at Earth Hour? 8.30pm Sat 27th of March.

You must have heard about Earth Hour by now, this global initiative is getting stronger and stronger each year.

The concept is simple.  Everyone turns off their lights at the same time to demonstrate their commitment to our planet and illustrate how easy it is for each of us to contribute (i.e. by turning off your lights as regularly as possible)!

From the Earth Hour Blog:

"At 8.30pm on Saturday, March 27 nearly 100 iconic landmarks in 1,000 cities and towns around the world will switch off their lights for Earth Hour 2010, joining hundreds of millions of people showing their commitment to the environment.

Earth Hour will reach new heights this year, with the world's three tallest buildings - the new Burj Khalifa in Dubai, CN Tower in Toronto and Taipei 101 in Taiwan - going dark for the global event.

Melbourne's Luna Park, Rialto Tower, Arts Centre and Crown Casino; Brisbane's Story Bridge; Adelaide's Town Hall and Rundle Mall Lantern; The National Library and Australian War Memorial in Canberra and the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Tower, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park will join this growing list.

World-famous sites across the US, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Mount Rushmore and even the lights of Las Vegas, will switch off in a decisive display of climate action from one of the most significant nations on the climate landscape."
