    World Wildlife Fund is proud to announce Earth Hour 2010 will take place Saturday, March 27, at 8:30 pm. National Monuments including Mount Rushmore, the Empire State Building, the Las Vegas Strip, and the Golden Gate Bridge have already pledged to participate.
    Standing nearly one billion people strong, we made last year’s Earth Hour the single largest mass action in human history.
    World Wildlife Fund has worked tirelessly to bring the international community, governments around the world and corporate leaders to the brink of breakthrough action on climate change in 2010. That's why it's so important we make our voice heard again.

    Please join millions of people around the world in turning off the lights for Earth Hour to raise awareness and demand action to fight climate change. Grow the movement by sharing this message with your friends and family. Working together, we can overcome one of the greatest challenges facing our planet.

    Visit their new site at EarthHour.org to access to videos and toolkits to help grow the movement as well as fantastic ideas on how to make Earth Hour a special event in your home, community or business.

    Thanks to the support and hard work of you and millions around the world, Earth Hour 2010 was a HUGE success!
    Together, we accomplished an incredible thing. Earth Hour 2010 is being described as the largest mass action in history. We grew the movement to include tens of millions of people in thousands of communities in 125 countries around the world. Almost every conceivable iconic landmark across the globe went dark. With one voice, the people of the world delivered a powerful message: We care about our planet and are ready to make the switch to a low-carbon economy that will create jobs and protect us from dangerous climate change.

    Even though Earth Hour is over, there is still more work to do. The climate and energy crisis facing our country requires action by our government. President Obama has called on Congress to pass clean energy and climate legislation this year that will create jobs, make America more energy independent and stave off the worst consequences of climate change. A bipartisan trio of Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Joe Lieberman (I- Conn.) is hard at work drafting such a bill and they expect to introduce it by Earth Day.

    So we are closer than ever to finally tackling the interconnected challenges of climate change, dependence on foreign oil and rebuilding our economy. But we won't get across the finish line unless Senators hear loudly and clearly that this a top priority for Americans. This is where you come in.

    How can you help?

    First, call your Senators and ask them to support passing the bipartisan clean energy and climate bill. We've set up a special hotline to connect you directly to your senators: 1-800-217-7379
