Tomorrow, March 28th from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. (your local time) switch off your lights for Earth Day. Someone has branded this as Earth Hour and shows your support for energy conservation and to send the message to political leaders attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December.

Here’s a list of folks joining in on Earth Hour:
The Empire State Building in New York City, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the St. Louis Gateway Arch, the Sydney Opera House, the Sears Tower in Chicago, Seattle’s Space Needle, the Great Pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Broadway theater marquees in New York City.
