March 29, 8 PM: Earth Hour

Earth Hour begins at 8 PM on March 29. For Kamchatka and the Kiribati Islands, that’s in just under 14 hours from now.

As the clock strikes eight in the evening, people across your time zone will be turning off their lights. It’s activism en mass. The purpose: to inspire people to take action on climate change and to demonstrate that massive and immediate action is possible.

So this Saturday night, do something that you will remember the next morning. Join the global movement, Earth Hour, and for just 60 minutes starting at 8 PM keep your lights and electricity turned off.

Earth Hour began as a city-wide voluntary blackout in Sydney, Australia. The above video is from that event. This year, they’ve moved the date ahead two days and invited the world to join in.

We’ll see you on the other side.
