Earth Hour 2012 is this Saturday, March 31 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time in each city worldwide. Earth Hour is a global initiative created by the World Wildlife Fund encouraging individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour to make a statement about conservation and climate change. It started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and became a global event in 2008 with Chicago as the flagship city for the U.S.
Christchurch, New Zealand is the first city to go dark, then it circles the globe. You can follow Earth Hour Illinois on Twitter or Facebook. Also, photographers, add your Earth Hour Flickr group or follow Earth Hour on instagram @earthhourofficial.
