Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Based on an idea successfully executed in Thailand in 2005, it was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008.
Earth Hour will next take place on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, local time.

So, are we going to support this event? Or should I be asking myself? Okay okay, I'm so lame. I know!
All I want to know is what are we getting out of this? How much energy can we save by switching off our lights for one hour, a year? If we can save that much of energy and prolong our Earth's life then why not do it every month? Every week or even everyday? Can someone light me up on this?
If by switching off the lights for this hour can help save our Earth, I will definitely do it! Yes! Support Earth Hour!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
