At 8:30pm on Saturday 28 March 2009, everyone turns off their lights for an hour. It's being promoted as a way to raise awareness of a variety of environmental issues (and promoted by WWF - the World Wildlife Fund, not those wrestlers! ) but I like the idea of promoting darkness so we can actually see the sky for a change!

According to the website, 538 cities in 75 countries have already signed up to take part. Last year Christchurch was the only NZ city "officially" involved, but I know a lot of people in other places who took part just for fun.
