Please join the City of Atlanta and 200 other cities around the world in this year's "Lights Out" event on March 28, 2009. The event is intended to send a message to world leaders about the need to reduce emissions and curb global warming. If you live on the U.S. eastern seaboard, please turn off your lights and all other electronics from 8:30 to 9:30 PM EST. This year's event is predicted to be the largest planned power outage in history. Atlanta will go dark from it's power stations, but if your city is not cutting power, please support this event and turn off your lights and electronics on your own.The event will begin at 8 p.m. local time in Christchurch, New Zealand, and flow through 14 time zones, concluding in San Francisco, where the lights on the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges will turn off along with all other non-essential lighting.Skylines will go dark in Suva, Fiji, and Calgary as well as Atlanta. Major league sports arenas will dim their lights in Phoenix. And in New York City, it will be lights out for Coca-Cola's Times Square billboard for the first time in its history.To check out the countdown visit: http://www.worldwildlife.org/
