By the time most of you read this, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and maybe even China and India will have gone dark for Earth Hour 2009.  And when it's all said and done some 3,900 cities and towns in 84 countries world wide will turn out their lights, including more than 300 cities and towns in the U.S. representing 43 states and the District of Columbia.  All for a global statement of concern about climate change, and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.

Lucky for us here in America, there is still time to make your Earth Hour plans.  So don't forget, tonight (Saturday), at 8:30 p.m. local time, turn out your lights and join the Earth Hour party. 

Earth Hour is a call to action from the World Wildlife Fund. Whether you’re an individual, a business, an organization or a government - take tonight as an opportunity to make a point about your commitment to working on ways to address climate change. Spokane needs to be dark this Saturday.
