Tonight at 8:30 PM local time, the World Wildlife Fund is asking people around the world to observe Earth Hour. If you’re interested in participating, there’s a social media component to the observance this year. You can find the details at the sight linked above.
Google has a page here with the “official video of the 2010 Earth Hour” to share. There’s also details on the sorts of effects that using the web and the hidden servers of the Internet can have on the environment. Which is worth thinking about as we use the web to share the news about Earth Hour.
And, on behalf of the local astronomers in your community, if enough of you participate, then we thank you! And if enough do, make sure to go outside, look up and enjoy the show.
