Earth hour starts 8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth on Saturday 28 March 2009. From 8:30 PM till 9:30 PM turn off all lights and non-essential electrical appliances to support an increased awareness of environmental issues.

Whew - thank goodness it says "nonessential appliances", I got worried for a minute... we ALL know that our computers are 'essential'... right? They are, aren't they? What???
Is my computer considered non-essential? ;)
Thanks for the reminder!
Happy Critturday!

I participated tonight (11.30pm over here right now) and I loved the warm atmosphere of lit candles. :)
I love earth hour! Thanks for posting about it.
Oh I didn't post about it but I observed it. Our weather was so nasty that I couldn't do much of anything except sleep.
I am also here to pass these two fantastic awards along to you.
