Earth Hour is basically an hour that takes place on Today starting at 8:30 PM. For one hour, just turn your lights off. It's that simple. You don't have to turn anything else off. You don't have to unplug your refrigerator (please don't!). Just your lights! Of course, it doesn't just have to be lights. You can switch off more if you feel so inclined.
The purpose of this is to help conserve energy and fight global warming. Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia. Almost all of the city turned its lights off for an hour. For those of you who don't know, Sydney is pretty big freaking place with a population of over 4 million people. Over 2 million homes and businesses participated. Then, in 2008, other big cities around the world joined in, including San Francisco, Rome, and more.
The goal for Earth Hour this year is to get 1 billion people to switch their lights off.
So what do you say? We have the power to get a ton of people to join in. Let's do this! Tell your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers. Whoever you can! Let's give the Earth a chance!
Shut your lights off today at 8:30 PM local time. This means your own time; don't worry about being in-sync with the rest of the world. Maybe that'll come someday, but not now.
For more information, you can visit Earth Hour's website. Maybe even officially sign up.
