Well it’s that time of year again.  On Sunday, we all need to set our clocks back an hour.  What to do with that extra hour?  How about booking a skip bin?  (You knew it was coming).  If you use our site, that should only take about 60 seconds.  You’ll then have an extra 59 minutes to spare! 

Wishing everyone a very happy and safe Easter holiday weekend!

When: Earth Hour 2010 will take place on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., local time. 

Earth Hour 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 will continue to be a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to show leadership and be responsible for our future.

Earth Hour 2010 is reportedly on track to become the largest Earth Hour yet, aiming to garner more than the one billion participant goal of 2009’s Earth Hour.

A list of 812 icons and landmarks worldwide will turn off their lights for Earth Hour, including:
