A short introduction to the whole idea of "Earth Hour". Everybody should join in this wonderfully simply idea. The idea is simple, turn off your lights for one hour on March 29th, 2008.
From their offical website:

Following Sydney's lead, 13 cities around the world have already signed up to turn off their lights for an hour on Saturday March 29 next year.

Sydney will be joined by Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.

In North America, Chicago and Canada's biggest city Toronto have signed up to participate.

Manila in the Philippines, Tel Aviv in Israel and Suva in Fiji have joined Earth Hour, along with the four largest cities in Denmark: Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg.

Is your city in there already?
