Earth Hour, There's no cure for that.

Will turning off our lights for Earth Hour really make a big difference to the world's energy supply? Maybe not if you're the only one who does it, but imagine if everyone switched off the lights for an hour. Earth Hour is more about awareness than actual energy conservation. It began in Australia in 2007, when — under the sponsorship of World Wildlife Fund Australia — more than two million Sydneysiders turned off their lights to send the message that they were concerned about climate change. The idea spread rapidly; it's become an annual event, held on the last Saturday in March. This year, the hope is that one billion people in 4,000 cities worldwide will participate in the cause. Global landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, London Eye, Empire State Building and the Bosphorus Bridge will go dark. Anyone can participate. Just turn off your lights tonight between 8:30 and 9:30 PM local time to make a statement about energy conservation.
