What do you plan to do when you turn off the lights for Earth Hour?

On Saturday, March 27, at 8:30pm, lights will go off everywhere. It’s all part of Earth Hour, a global movement led by the World Wildlife Foundation to encourage people to switch off for an hour to draw attention to the need to conserve energy.

Participation is easy. Turn off your lights and electronics for one hour. That’s it.
