Earth Hour 2009

[science_spot]

 

Earth Hour is an annual event created by the World Wildlife Fund.  The purpose is to raise awareness on global warming and give the public a means to show their support for action on inhibiting this climate change.  The idea is simply to turn off all non-essential lights for one hour (8:30-9:30pm) on Saturday, March 28th, 2009.

Check out a picture from Canberra during last year's Earth Hour:
