Earth Hour 2009 is happening this Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30pm - 9:30pm local time. This is going to be a huge event taking place worldwide with over 2100 cities in 82 countries participating. Here's how the official event organizers' site describe the goal for this year's Earth Hour:
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
