Let\u2019s inspire the world and have some fun <\/em>\u2013 turn off the lights on Thursday, March 24, 2011 for <\/strong>Earth Hour<\/a>, taking a stand against climate change with a symbolic act: turning off the electricity for one hour and get creative finding fun things to do in the dark. Last year, 128 countries joined in the movement that began in 2007 in Sydney Australia. This year, Earth Hour organizers are saying: \u201cWe want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up.\u201d<\/div>\n
In Israel, everything is different, so we will be marking Earth Hour two days before the official Earth Hour which will take place on Saturday, March 26, 2011, giving us a chance to inspire others with photos of our communal darkness on Thursday night. Thanks to Flying Singer <\/a>for the wonderful photo of Earth! \u00a0And here in Tel Aviv \u2013 WE\u2019RE GOING TO PARTY!!! <\/a>It all starts in Rabin Square at around 18:30 with Karolina<\/a>, followed by the Giraffes<\/a> hosting Red Band <\/a>\u2013 and at 20:00 \u2013 wherever you are, turn off the lights!<\/div>\n
