Lights Off, Shine On: World Honors Earth Hour

Lights went off in thousands of cities and towns across the world today for the annual Earth Hour event, organized by the World Wildlife Fund. Earth Hour takes place worldwide at 8.30 p.m. local time and is a global call to turn off lights for 60 minutes to raise awareness on a variety of environmental issues.
