At 8:30 PM today, lights will switch off around the globe for Earth Hour and people will commit to actions that go beyond the hour. This awareness movement is intended to get people talking about the importance of reducing human impact on the Earth.
About Earth hour ?
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

The Earth Hour Transformation !
Earth Hour began as a small World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) event in Sydney, Australia. In 2007, 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. The movement was quickly picked up, and the following year was an even bigger event.
In 2009, there were over 74 countries ready to participate in what is now called "Vote Earth" - a stand against global warming.
