It's not about saving anything by turning the lights off but about making people conscious there is something to think about. And this year, a record-breaking 126 countries are taking part in the World
Wildlife Find which only started in Sydney in 2007
CEO of Australia's WWF Greg Bourne says "The key thing is you turn off the lights to turn on the lights in your mind as to how you reduce your footprint on the planet"
International icons such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sydney Opera House, the Empire State
Building in New York and the pyramids of Egypt will go dark for the
great switch-off and for the first time ever the Forbidden City in China which is fairly incredible as china is one of the biggest users of resources and usually tends to ignore any greenie type things. By making an obvious difference in lighting in big cities the message that the earth's resources are limited gets across more people.
You moaners need to go back to the dark ages... but yeah thats right you will be the only ones not in the dark shortly because you need to keep your lights on so can gaze longingly at your signed poster of Michael Law's sent to all his fanclub members
