Lights Out & Happy Earth Hour!

If you've made it to our site and are reading this post, you probably already knew that it's Earth Hour day!

According to Wikipedia, "Earth Hour is an international event organised by the WWF, and held on the last Saturday of March each year, which asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change." The hour occurs at 8:30 PM, where ever you are, just as it's getting dark (we love daylight savings time)!

If you're getting closer to the hour (it's just 2 hour away for us), before turning off your computer, make sure you check out the official WWF Earthhour site (www.earthhour.org). It's packed with all sorts of real-time updates and content coming in from all over the world-- I heard on the news that over 88 countries are participating.

There's also other great activity happening around the web-- we liked the Twitter Earthhour tweet-up where greenies all over the place are talking about their experiences with Earth Hour (tweet #earthhour -- watch the action here. ). By the way, have you added BuildingGreenTV on twitter yet?
