The "Earth hour" takes place at 8;30 pm (local time) on the last Saturday of March. It's a worldwide event in which people, gouvernements and organisations are invited to switch off non-essential lights during one hour to raise awareness about climate change. I travelled to London to record the event around Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Picadilly circus.

Lights off from 8:30pm to 9:30pm

Earth Hour is a massive social movement aimed to mobilize action against climate change through the simple act of turning off lights.
Launched in Australia on 31 March 2007, Earth Hour moved over two million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for 60 minutes – hence the movement’s logo. This captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world, giving rise to Earth Hour 2008 – where 50 million people in 370 cities followed suit. New York’s Times Square, Rome’s Coliseum and even the remote Casey Station in Antarctica plunged into darkness.
The Philippines was the first Southeast Asian nation to pledge support. Its flagship cities of Pasay, Manila, Parañaque and Makati observed a switch-off ceremony and enveloped the entire Roxas Boulevard seaside strip in symbolic darkness. Popular landmarks such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Mall of Asia were blanketed in darkness. Lights-out activities were instigated by a million Filipinos in over 50 major towns and cities across the nation.
As of March 29, 2009, the Philippines bags the World Record for having the highest community to participate in the Earth Hour Campaign for 2009. (www.gmanews.tv/story/154653/Philippines-tops-global-Earth...))
