Earth Hour

In saturday, 27TH March 2010, the earth inhabitants's (more or less 6.5 billion people) switched off their lights for an hour, 20:30 to 21:30, to try to reduce global warming.
The Earth Hour began in 2007, only in Sydney, Australia. In 2008, 371 cities participated. In the last year, when Brazil participaped for the first time, the movement exceeded all expectations. Hundreds of millions of people in more than 4 thousand cities of 88 countries put out the lights. Monuments as Eiffel Tower, Colisseum, Times Square, Christ Redeemer and National Congress and other were one hour in the dark.
This gesture of turning out the lights draws attention to the fact that everyone can do their bit for the planet, and that thought has grown, as we shall see. "The WFF-Brazil is very happy with the brasilian's work, which surpassed the marks of the year. It is through such movements as the company tells the government that they must act by the planet." Said secretary's WFF-Brazil. "Each year more and more people have participated in this global movement, is a sign that consciousness is being turned on." said Environment Minister Carlos Minc. for mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, "is an honor to host the Earth Hour. Rio de Janeiro directly depends on the respect for the environment, because one of the highlights of the city is the quality of life it provides, and we to do everything to preserve it."
