On Saturday, March 29, at precisely 8 p.m., much of the glittering skyline of downtown Miami will go dark -- at least darker than normal -- for an hour.
Don't call FPL. Don't call the cops. This blackout is supposed to happen.
Miami has signed on with dozens of cities around the world taking part in Earth Hour, an event to raise awareness about energy conservation and global warming.
i think it's pretty funny that at the same time they're doing this, they're wasting god knows how much electricity with ultra a few blocks away...
the only thing lighting up the night will be the park with ultra blaring haha. i think its good advertising for ultra!

well it's not really a mandatory thing... it's more for whatever office buildings want to "go green." if it was at midnight, i really doubt any clubs would volunteer to do that
