Earth Hour 2012

There is a big event on today. I believe a lot of people know it. Yea, It's the EARTH HOUR 2012!



It's the 6th Earth Hour this year.

Earth Hour is an annual event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) on the last Saturday of March. It is originated from Australia where WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald held it for the first time in Sydney in 2007. In that first Earth Hour, 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated to switch off all the light which is not necessary. Last year, approximately 1.8 billion people (around 25% of global population) are participating this event.

It started in city, it's now participated more than hundred countries.
