This Saturday, 29 March 2008 at exactly 8pm, lights will be shut off for an hour in 24 global cities.

For what? If more people are aware and switch off their lights for one hour, it can help to reduce this year's carbon footprints by thousands of pounds. That's equivalent to saving hundreds of thousands trees or preventing million pounds of carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere.

What can you do? Switch off your lights. A simple act that will affect our environment.

If we can spread the awareness, we can be involved in a noble cause to preserve our Mother Earth. The more people are aware, the more people will be involved, and the better environment for us to live in.

You can get more info from this Earth Hour link.
