Note: I am not trying to start a politcal debate on this topic. I am only seeking to bring this event to your attention so lets please keep this thread on the topic of Earth Hour 2008.
Earth Hour started last year in Sydney, Australia, when more than 2 million people and thousands of businesses turned out their lights. Power consumption dropped more than 10 percent in that single hour; the message that climate change must be slowed shone brightly.
Already this year, 25 cities in seven countries have joined World Wildlife Fund as official partners. In the United States, Chicago has joined as the U.S. flagship city; Atlanta, Phoenix and San Francisco are also leading the way. Across America, community groups, local businesses and concerned individuals are joining in.
