Today is the global event Earth Hour. 8:30 pm in whatever time zone you are in, people are encouraged to turn out their lights for one hour. National landmarks around the world have their spotlights turned off and all goes dark for one quiet hour.
This event began just a few years ago by a handful of people who wanted to do something to make a difference.
Here is the official website, and below are links to photos and more articles.
