On March 27th 2010 we celebrated our 4th annual Earth Hour, organized by the World Wildlife Foundation. During this hour many countries and civilians around the world acknowledged this important time by turning off their lights, cell phones, computers, TV's and any other sources of electricity. Earth Hour is a special time for people internationally to prove that they are dedicated to reducing our impact on our planet and stopping global warming.
It began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia and since then the world has embraced this noble cause. Even though it may seem like a very minor affect to turn one's electricity off for only one hour, it is the idea and message behind it that is of much importance. It proves that people all over the world are willing to bring our environment to the forefront of our concerns. It shows that people are willing to make small sacrifices in order to save our planet and finally it celebrates our planet and brings people globally together in the fight to improve our planet.
Earth Hour is aimed to be held the last Saturday of every March.
In 2011 will you turn off, wire down and flick off for Earth Hour?
