I made this little banner from scratch after obtaining some of my CS3 brushes again...

Earth Hour 2009. If you don't know what it is, Watch this video:

Or View the site:
http://www.earthhour.com
(Basically, turn out all your light for 1 hour at 8:30, everywhere in the world.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is this related to Photography?
Well, I have an assignment for you ALL!
While participating in this, go out in your city and capture it in the darkness!!
Get some photos, video footage etc. of your city participating in this movement to stop Global Warming.

Then, post them here so we can view them, and also post them on the website! (earthhour.com)

I remember hearing about this a year ago, was a really cool idea. the video says march 31; is it the 28th this year?

This Saturday!
(March 31st was the day last year, over 50million participated last year)

Ok, Thanks :), I'll make sure to participate and see if I can have my camera ready by then.

earth day is everyday for me.. never leave anything on unless im using it. always unplug shit aswell

Well considering how cold it is here in Canada I'd say let people drive their huge ass trucks and frequently fly those nice jets ^^
I wouldn't mind it being like 20 degrees warmer here during the winter. Go green house gases!! make the winter greener!!

Same, except, I don't normally unplug it. I just turn it off

Good idea! I participated last year and will do the same this year

I'll go out and take some pictures, hopefully it's a nice night!

waffaq? in my job i am providing ecological electric current (100% obtained from regenerative energies) + ecological gas (48% natural) as per tariff

take pictures when all lights are off.. hmm

Well im not sure if my city participates so it would be pretty stupid if i stand there with my camera and nothing happens. how do i know?
