Earth Hour 2008

I just found out about Earth Hour 2008 over at RagamufinSoul.com. The goal is to raise global awareness about personal and corporate energy conservation.

Here is what they say on the web site:

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco. View cities involved around the world.

We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.

I realize this is last minute notice for all my readers but I thought I’d pass the information along. I’ll be participating by switching everything off tonight at 8:00 PM.

How about you? Drop a comment to let me know if you’re going to be participating. (click here if you can’t see the video below)
