Tonight, March 28th at 8:30pm, you’ll have the opportunity to ‘Vote Earth’ with the flick of a switch. Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action for every individual, every business and every community to pledge their support for the earth by turning off the lights for one hour. 2,848 cities, towns and municipalities in 84 countries have already committed to Vote Earth – will you be joining us?
It’s all part of an effort to raise awareness about the need for action on global warming. This year, by becoming a part of Earth Hour, you’ll be participating in the world’s first global election between global warming and the earth. The results will be presented at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. The goal is one billion votes for Earth, to send the message to world leaders that we, citizens of planet Earth, demand action against global warming.
Spread the word to your friends, family and everyone you run into today to make sure they know about Earth Hour. In addition to telling people in person, here are a few more ways you can help:

I watched Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” just before earth hour in Singapore. I felt ashamed that I am so ignorance of the issues on global warming and climate change.
I managed to find some good sites and learned more about Renewable Resources. I hope the use of renewable resources and reverse the damages of global warming.
Hope there are more activities like Earth Hour to promote awareness among people like myself. We need to get serious about saving the planet
