Earth Hour 2010 - A beautiful slideshow of unity for our planet

From the World Wildlife Fund to all who participated:

"On behalf of the planet, we thank you!

Earth Hour 2010 was an amazing success. For one hour the world came together with one voice to say we care about our planet and our future. Thank you for being a part of this historic event.

Saturday night on March 27th, hundreds of millions of people in 125 countries on all seven continents united to demand action on climate change. It is being described as the largest mass demonstration in history.

Celebrate our incredible accomplishments with a slideshow of landmarks across the world going dark.

ABOUT EARTH HOUR

Earth Hour has done a lot to raise awareness of climate change issues. But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. It’s all about giving people a voice on the future of our planet, and the chance to send a message of hope to world leaders.

Earth Hour: A global vote for Earth

Since 2007, Earth Hour has gained worldwide support for positive action against global warming. It all began with 2.2 million people in one city using their light switches to have their say. By March 2009, hundreds of millions of people in over 4,000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to vote for Earth.

Every single person who took part in Earth Hour in 2009 helped form a mandate to influence the climate summit. And as people continue to show their support by voting for Earth, the mandate will grow even stronger.

Earth Hour 2010

As long as there is Earth, there will be Earth Hour! It’s held each year on the last Saturday in March. Which means the next Earth Hour event will be Saturday, March 27, 2010. Mark it on your calendar now!
