This month on the 28th (last Saturday in March) at 8:30 PM, people and companies all over the world will turn lights off to support an initiative created by WWF (World Wild-life Foundation) against climate change.
According to www.earthhour.org more than 930 cities and towns in 80 countries have already committed to VOTE EARTH for Earth Hour 2009, as part of the worlds first global election between Earth and global warming.
Companies encouraging their local offices and facilities to switch off their lights in support of this initiative include companies like Coca-Cola, IKEA, Electrolux and Hilton Hotels (and of course Xavier Media 
).
Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. During 2008 this spread around the globe as a global sustainability movement, with over 50 million people switching off their lights. Some of the more famous contributors in 2008 where Golden Gate Bridge and the Coca-Cola billboard in Times Square.
VOTE EARTH you too by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
Earth Hour got an account at Twitter you can follow and you can also see videos at YouTube.com.
