On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.
Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.
What will you do when the lights are off? We have lots of ideas.
Join people all around the world in showing that you care about our planet and want to play a part in helping to fight climate change. Don’t forget to sign up and let us know you want to join Earth Hour.
One hour, America. Earth Hour. Turn out for Earth Hour!

Inspired by your post, I encouraged my family to participate in Earth Hour. I was hoping to show them just how wasteful they are. I am continually going behind everyone shutting off lights, and if I ‘m not the last one out of the house in the morining, lights are left on, heat, fans, whatever. Anyway, we were mostly successful in turning off for an hour. My 3 year old is having a problem with the dark right now, and with 4 young boys in the hous, I was reluctant to light candles.
God Bless.

That’s fantastic! I think the main purpose of the project is to bring awareness to how wasteful we can be. So if Earth Hour has everyone thinking about how they can conserve the energy they use, I would say it was a success.
