March 29, 2008, thousands of people turned off their lights for an hour all over the world. Google UK underscored the event with a black home page.
Created to take a stand against the greatest threat
our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning
off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the
need for action on global warming. This simple act has
captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world.
As a result, at 8pm March 29, 2008 millions of people in some of the
world’s major capital cities, including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago,
Melbourne, Brisbane and Tel Aviv will unite and switch off for Earth
Hour.
