Got some problems with this one. Not that what it says isn't true, but I think we could just provide a link to [[global warming]] or something, since this part don't have anything directly to do with the (symbolic) act of turning of the light for an hour at 8.30 in the evening (and I don't think that anyone in the Earth Hour-organisation deny that light-bulbs are important. Got no sources for that though :p) [[User:SaWi|SaWi]] 17:45, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
