m  is a global event organized by WWF (World

Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is
held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households
and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other
electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the
need to take action on climate change. Earth Hour was
conceived by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007,
when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off
all non-essential lights.

Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world


adopted the event in 2008. Earth Hour 2010 took place on March
27, 2010 from 8:30p.m. to 9:30p.m., at all participant countries'
respective local time.
