Earth hour and global warming

Earth Hour, an initiative that seeks for everyone to turn off their lights of for one hour once a day every year, being launched next month, in an effort to bring more awareness to the growing concern about global warming. The event was also done last year, with many participating in the lights off program. Organizers hope that this year, more will participate in the movement, which they plan to continue for as long as it takes for people, most especially governments, to realize the importance of making policy that will offset the damage to the environment current societies have been doing for years. This initiative is especially important this year, as world leaders are set to meet in Copenhagen in December to discuss global warming and come up with treaties, plans and strategies to address the issue.
