Blackout

The Vatican, before and after.

The world's second Earth Hour happened last night from 20:30 to 21:30. Check out photos here and here. Hundreds of cities participated, darkening some of the planet's most-recognized monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and, here in Mexico City, the Zocalo. The initiative started last year in Sydney. Its the creation of the planet-saving hopefuls at the World Wildlife Foundation. This year's goal was to reach 1 billion people. No word yet if it was met.
Edward Norton was the 2009 ambassador.
