We have heard about learning to unplug our computers once a week. We have also heard about fasting for a good cause. What about unplugging our dependence on electricity for 1 hour? The purpose of Earth Day is to promote public awareness about global warming. For 60 minutes, lights will be turned off to symbolically remind people that energy is precious, and the threat of global warming.
This is what the organizers of Earth Hour 60 is asking us to do. Participants from all over the world can participate in this event based on their time zone on 27th Mar 2010. For 1 hour, from 8.30-9.30 PM, we are encouraged to turn off our lights. Maybe light a candle or to use torches. There is also a blog that describes happenings around the world.
