For 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote for government action on climate change. Earth Hour is this Saturday, March 28th, mark your calendars and prepare for a romantic candle lit evening:

2. Get your friends to do it, too. Share this link with them on Facebook and MySpace.
   
3. Get our government involved. Write the First Lady and ask her to include the White House in Earth Hour 2009. (She turned the White House fountain green on St. Patty’s Day, for godssake.)
