Google.ie have given their pages a black background today, to help raise awareness of today’s global energy conservation initiative - Earth Hour.

You can view Google’s description on what they are doing here.   Google are asking their visitors to support the initiative by turning out the lights in their home for an hour between 8PM and 9PM this evening.  What a fantastic initiative and awareness building campaign.

I’ll definitely make an effort and turn the lights out this evening. The Earth Hour site is very slow to open, they must be getting a huge amount of traffic from Google today, but I’ve managed to sign up and pledge my support.
