Earth hour is celebrated on upcoming Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:30 p.m. around the world. This Saturday millions of homes and businesses around the world will go dark for one hour in observance of Earth Hour.
Earth hour is celebrated to awake sense of globle changes due to the green house gasses which causes the global warming. Globel warming is the major cause for the severe change in the weather. This weather changing bring a great disaster through out the world. It affects our crops which can build the food problem.
Today, Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management announced that it will power down its non-emergency lighting in its facilities throughout 50 countries. Verizon will darken more than 500 company locations to conserve more than 45,000 kilowatt hours of energy. AEG-affiliated venues in 25 cities, six countries and three continents will also participate. Its major venues include the Best Buy Theater in New York, Staples Center in Los Angeles and the O2 Arena in London.
The World Wildlife Fund hosts the annual Earth Hour to promote climate change awareness and energy conservation. The event began in Sydney in 2007, with 2 million people switching off their lights. By 2010, Earth Hour had created history as the largest voluntary action ever witnessed with participation across 128 countries and territories and every continent.
Billy Gentle, communications manager of Earth Hour Global, says the event will bring communities together and create a platform for individuals and organizations who want to discuss low-carbon resolutions with their neighbors.
Businesses, too, are encouraged through this event to work alongside competitors and come up with a solution to the “indiscriminate threat of global warming.”
Molson Coors Brewing Company will be turning off all non-essential lighting at its breweries and offices, including its Denver headquarters.
“Earth Hour represents an important principle of sustainability – act locally to impact globally,” says Bart Alexander, Molson Coors’ global vice president of alcohol policy and corporate responsibility.

A number of historic landmarks will be turning off their lights in honor of Earth Hour.
