This past Saturday was Earth Hour, and millions of people around the globe shut their lights off for one hour to conserve energy and celebrate our planet.

Here's how three SocialVibe members, SpifazingCT, Superboy112288, and Lora, celebrated the event:


Board games, candles, and the Pink Ball!


Here are some other photos of Earth Hour 2009 happening around the world:




Although there is no real way to measure the amount of energy saved during Earth Hour, we are sure it was a lot, and at the very least, made people realize that turning off unused lights is an easy way to fight climate change.

Earth Hour is sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, who you can support on SocialVibe. Choose them as your Cause and begin earning free donations now.

Actually, I don't think lighting candles was that much of a good idea because I was reading an article that stated that candles are just as bad or worse than the old regular lightbulbs...LOL Just saying!

I did it at my youth group. We turned all the lights in the entire church off, haha. It was really funny sitting down in the basement and hearing shouts as people tripped over things and each other.

What happened to Earth Day?
Did they just shorten it up to Earth Hour or something?
Haha.
I forgot about it, but I try to conserve energy and Earth Hour is a great way to do it.
