On March 31st 2007, the World Wildlife Federation and The Sydney Morning Herald invited all individuals, companies, organizations, and the government in Sydney, Australia, to turn off their lights for just one hour on March 31, 2007.

More than 2 million residents and businesses participated, resulting in a 10.2% reduction in energy. Word of the success of this experiment has spread, and on March 29th, 2008, at 8 p.m., cities across the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world are planning to “turn out the lights.â€
