It’s nearly time to hit the lights. Earth Hour 2011 is on Saturday, March 26, 8:30pm.

From its inception as a single-city initiative — Sydney, Australia – in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into a global symbol of hope and movement for change. Earth Hour 2010 created history as the world’s largest ever voluntary action with people, businesses and governments in 128 countries across every continent coming together to celebrate an unambiguous commitment to the one thing that unites us all — the planet.

Turn off your lights for Earth Hour!

“In 2007, 2.2 million people took part in the world’s first Earth Hour in Sydney Australia. Just one year later, 50 million people in 370 cities and towns, in more than 35 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour 2009 aims to reach more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, inviting communities, business and governments to switch off lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday March 28 and sending a powerful global message that we care enough about climate change to take action.”

Upon registration, the WWF (the organizers of this event) will send a letter to our lawmakers letting them know how many people are participating and care about our environment. 

Thanks for the heads up OZOLife!

I like the idea of this being organized more often, maybe once a month? I’m sure the impact on the world’s energy consumption would be significant and once a year is a great place to start! Brings back great memories of the NYC Blackout of 2003.

Happy Friday!
