Google raises awareness for energy conservation by changing the Google homepage to black, “turning the lights out”. On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. I think this is a fantastic idea and really the first attempt I’ve every seen to raise awareness and actually start something globally.

I’ll be turning off my lights tonight, will you?
