On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., millions of people around the world will make statement about climate change by turning off their lights for one hour. Earth Hour was created by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown to a global movement. In 2008, nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn their lights out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate.

Every nation should be considering making drastic changes in their energy policy to try to reduce the threat of catastrophic climate change. This is an excellent opportunity to send a message to our leaders. At 8pm tomorrow, March 29th, shut your lights off.
