Could you go without electricity for an hour?
World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.
Join millions of people around the world on Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. when they shut off their lights for one hour to send a message about their concern for the environment.
More than 850 cities in 80 countries have already committed to turning out for Earth Hour. During Earth Hour 2009, lights are slated to go out on some of the most recognized landmarks on the planet, including:
- The Las Vegas Strip
- Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
- Sears Tower in Chicago
- Honky-Tonk bars in Nashville
- Coca-Cola signs around the world including New York ‘s Times Square
- Eiffel Tower in Paris
- Sydney Opera House in Australia
