Earth hour: An idiots guide
Tonight at 8:30PM your street may be a little darker than usual, that’s because today marks the 3rd annual ‘Earth Hour’, a simple event dedicated to switching off the lights in your town, city or street to aid and highlight needless energy consumtion and help save OUR planet just that little bit.
This year Earth Hour is aiming for 1billion participants and YOU can participate simply by the flick of a switch. Register your vote for Earth Hour.
The Event starting in Sydney in 2007 when 2.2million homes and businesses switched off. This year over 1,189 Cities and Towns are signed up to take part hopefully making this the most successful Earth Hour to date.
The big switch off will be captured by satellite photo as the darkness swathes over the planet time zone by time zone. Epic monuments will be shrouded in darkness as The Cube and Birds Nest stadiums in Beijing, China have earlier on this very day. Check back for a report on Earth hour and hopefully some stunning images of the Event, and remember to make your mark and cast your vote for our planet!

How did the event go?? Heard it was happening in the Custurd Factory in Digbeth – cant imagine a whole hour of silence on a Saturday night.
Did anyone go?
