Yesterday, on Saturday March 28th at 8.30 PM, about one billion people all over the world was asked to switch off the light during one hour : the Earth Hour.
The action was to remember people that the fight against global warming is still relevant today.
With Sydney, Australia opened the Earth Hour by switch off the lights of its famous opera and bridge. From the Eiffel Tower to the Empire State building including the Gizeh Pyramids or the Acropolis, the most famous ancient monuments took part to this.
In few months, the international community is going to reconvene in Copenhague. There, countries' representatives will have to find solutions against gas emissions and global warming. They will deal with an extension of the Kyoto protocol which expires in 2012 too.
The 2009 Earth Hour is a symbol in ecology and now people must react.
