Earth Hour 2011

Today, March 26, at 8:30 p.m. local time, we are being urged to turn out all our lights for one hour for the fourth annual Earth Hour. There is much discussion out there as to whether or not this actually addresses the real issue of power conservation or whether it’s just a token gesture. World Wildlife Fund encourages us to make this the first step in changing our habits and suggest ways to take action on a number of different issues that can make a continual difference.
In 2010, 126 countries and over 1 billion people participated. This year, 131 countries and provinces have committed to participation.
Earth Hour this year is not only to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change, but to show solidarity with the Japanese people: after the recent tragedies in Japan, millions people now are surviving without electricity.
So, Will you join in?
