About a year ago, Sydney, Australia started a trend of turning off lights for one hour in a show of support for protecting the environment. Soon after, London and San Francisco followed suit. This year, 2008, the event is going global, with cities from every continent, including the US, participating in what promises to be the largest ever show of solidarity in the world. The idea is as simple as it sounds. On March 29, 2008 at 8:00p.m. everyone is encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour. This worldwide movement to turn out lights for one hour on Saturday, March 29th from 8:00-9:00 p.m. will send a powerful message about the need for action to combat global warming. The effort is supported by conservation groups like the World Wildlife Fund and American Bird Conservancy.
