On Saturday, March 27 at 8:30pm (local time), people all over the world will show their support for the planet by turning off their lights for one hour.
You can participate by simply switching off the light, adding your name to the Supporters’ Map or creating a Virtual Lantern or Light Switch! To learn more, visit the Earth Hour web site at http://www.earthhour.org
If that sounds challenging, take a look at the plans for the islands of Tuvalu and the Galapagos and Victoria Falls.
