What is Earth Hour? Earth Hour is 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm (local time) Saturday, March 28, 2009. During this hour, people around the globe will turn out their non-essential lighting in what will be the largest climate event in history. From Amman to Warsaw, city skylines will go dark for one hour as individuals, businesses, government buildings, schools and major landmarks turn out the lights.
Who can participate? Anyone! Individuals, businesses, schools, organizations...you name it! If you have a light switch-turn it off for this one hour. Earth Hour's goal is 1 billion participants in 1000 cities around the world.

History of Earth Hour: Earth Hour began in 2007 as 2.2 million people turned out their lights in Sydney, Australia in a stand against climate change. From the famed Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge to skyscrapers and individual homes, Sydney went dark.
During Earth Hour 2008, the event grew as more than 50 million people in 400 cities on all seven continents turned off their lights and major icons also went dark, including the Coliseum in Rome, Stockholm's Royal Castle, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Google turned its homepage black for an entire day in tribute.
In 2009, Dallas and now Arlington will officially support Earth Hour as tens of millions of people from all corners of the world unite in a call for global action on climate change.
Dallas and Arlington residents throughout their cities are encouraged to turn off their lights for the event. The central focus of Dallas' Earth Hour celebration will be the downtown area - watch the famous Dallas skyline dim. Arlington will be focusing on its municipal facilities and businesses throughout the city and the University of Texas at Arlington.
