Earth Hour 2010 This Saturday

World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour’s a now 4-year-old annual event when everyone’s encouraged to turn off their lights for an hour. In 2010, Earth Hour will be happening from 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm (your local time) this Saturday, March 27.

To participate, turn off your lights at 8:30 PM for one hour local time. That's all. There are no hard and fast rules.

Earth Hour organizers suggest filling that hour with activities like having a picnic in the park with your family, viewing the stars in your backyard, telling stories, taking a candlelit bath or organizing a candlelight game night. You might just find you are having so much fun you won't want to flip those lights back on at 9:30!

You can learn more about this by visiting the official Earth Hour Website.

If you intend to participate I'd love to have your comments on what you are planning ☺

I happen to live in Las Vegas, a city known for it's flashy lights. Will Vegas join in? Yep, it will. Most of the hotels, casinos and attractions on the Las Vegas Strip will turn off most of their lights for that hour.
