The  Bing homepage will go dark on Saturday, March 27^th from 8:30pm Eastern Daylight Time to 9:30pm Pacific Daylight Time, in support of Earth Hour. Created by World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour asks people to participate and demonstrate their concern about global climate change with a simple gesture of turning off all non-essential lights and electronics.

As the Bing team acknowledged on their blog, a darker version of our Bing homepage doesn’t save any energy over the regular version, they wanted to help spread the word about the same. To find out more about what you can do to support Earth Hour, see http://www.myearthhour.org/community.

People from 3,100 cities in 121 countries on all 7 continents are participating in Earth Hour, where people across the world can demonstrate their concern about global climate change with the simplest of gestures: turning off all non-essential lights and electronics. Would you participate too ?
