Anyone visiting the Google homepage today may have noticed a slight change in appearance as it does it's part for Earth Hour.

On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming – coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

This year everyone is being encouraged to take part, so for one hour, between 8 and 9pm tonight, we're being encouraged to turn all the lights off and see the difference we can make together.
