Earth hour- Pictures, Photos, a message to save electricity.

Earth hour is a global event organised by World Wild Life Fund (WWF) & is celebrated on the last Saturday of March every year.

On this day, people are asked to turn off their non-essential lights & other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change.

Earth hour was conceived by WWF & the Sydney morning herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. Following Sydney’s lead, many other countries around the world adopted the event in 2008.

Earth hour 2010, will take place on March 27, 2010 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm in India.

Observing this as a great movement, all of us need to stand together to save the planet earth. There is a desperate need for conservation of water & electricity. This initiative will go a long way to save the power problems. Let us observe this day to respect and nurture the mother earth.
