March 28 is approaching quickly. Next Saturday, the organization Earth Hour is asking people to turn their lights off for one hour to "vote for the Earth." Leaving the lights on, on the other hand, is a vote for global warming.
Earth Hour was started in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million people turned their lights off for one hour. By 2008 it was a global phenomenon and major landmarks including the Sydney Opera House, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Colosseum participated in the event. Over 50 million participated that year.
This year, Earth Hour has a goal of 1 billion votes for the Earth. Those interested can find out more information, including how to spread the word at their website.
