If you've visited the Google website today, you'll see that the familiar white screen of the well-known search engine has been turned black. This is an effort on Google's part to raise awareness about Earth Hour. This focus of the effort is to raise awareness of worldwide energy conservation efforts.

Cities around the world are planning events in order to show their commitment to energy conservation.
