Earth Hour 2009 - Photo link

The Boston Globe published a very interesting series of photos taken around the world during Earth Hour.

According to the Internet site Boston.com, Earth Hour "started in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and quickly grew into a global observance. More than 1,000 cities in over 80 countries observed Earth Hour 2009 on Saturday March 29th, as homes, office towers and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour starting at 8.30 pm local time to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions. Collected here are a series of before-and-after photographs - which (starting with the second one below) will fade between "on" and "off" when clicked. "
