Depending on what part of the globe you’re in, Earth Hour 2009 is but roughly 33 to 48 hours away from Saturday, 8:30 PM. The VOTE EARTH movement is a global one hour “lights off kids!” with the primary aim of collecting 1 billion statement votes for policy changes in this year’s Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
What’s important to us though is that Earth Hour ’09 is heavy on social media. YouTube videos, widget downloads, Facebook fan page, Bebo, Flickr, Twitter and FriendFeed accounts can all be found here. They even have a sign up widget which you can embed on your blog.
Crazy thought: If the Internet went down for an hour, what would the world be like?

Earth Hour is really a good concept on how we could spend at least a few minutes of our time in remembering mother Eearth. people should be more aware and more caring of our environment now that we have Global Warming and Climate Change.

I have been blogging about this same topic for up to 2 years now, – what I have often believed is that it will take time to be able to overcome on this thing. But when someone said your post, I was truly amazed that there are a lot of ways to go about it and acquire and even much better final results. Maybe that is why I’ve not really had a great number of loyal readers. I ought to have consulted your blog post first before starting my own.
