This Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30PM people all over the world will be turning off their lights for one hour in a massive movement dedicated to curbing global climate change. Participants are encouraged to write blogs, post photos to the site’s Flickr group and upload videos to YouTube about the experience in the hopes that Earth Hour 2009 will help spark a renewed emphasis on environmental activism.

Earth Hour 2009 seems like a great opportunity to teach your children about the effects of global climate change. There’s even a cute video to help empower kids to take a stand on the environment’s behalf.

Will you be participating in Earth Hour 2009? If not, what do you tell your kids about global climate change and the environment? Are your kids interested in community service and activism? You tell us!
