Wherever you happen to be in the world on March 28th at 8:30 p.m., you're likely to find a city or community somewhere nearby that is making plans to turn out the lights for Earth Hour - a global goal of 1,000 cities! WWF's initiative aims to increase awareness about climate change and demonstrate that people from all over the world care about the issue.
