“World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.”

On March 28, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time, millions of people across the globe will turn out their lights to raise awareness and take action to fight climate change. The momentum for Earth Hour is growing in the United States and around the world. A total of 175 U.S. cities and towns have now pledged to “turn out” for the largest climate event in history, with more signing up each day. See the complete list of cities here.

The site has tons of facts and information, fun activities, games and quizzes, and ideas on what young activists can do to spread the word and turn their concern into action.
