Lights Out

Earth Hour 2015 is Saturday, March 28, at 8:30 p.m. Started in Australia in 2007, the event draws attention to climate change and what we humans can try to do about it by asking that everyone turn out their lights for an hour. Over the years, more and more cities and organizations have taken part. This year, according to the World Wildlife Fund, which organizes the event, 7,000 cities, 1,200 landmarks, and 172 countries and territories will participate. If you happen to be in San Francisco, you might want to join Ghirardelli Square's #Go Dark Earth Hour Party, which will include a dark-chocolate tasting. Children in Dubai can enjoy "Stories by Candlelight" at the International Financial Center (story, link to finding events near you): http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-trb-earth-hour-20150326-story.html
