Earth Hour 2008. I'm joining. Are you?

I'm participating. Are you?

On March 29th, 2008 at 8pm local time

Earth Hour will commence ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour.
