Lights aren't the only thing that turned off on Saturday night. Earth Hour is dying and Mother Gaia is crying.

You know these are dark days for eco-wackos when Treehugger.com, a division of Discovery, shares this bad news:

Earth Hour started in Sydney in 2007; by 2009 it had spread around the world, becoming a very big deal everywhere but in the USA, where it never really caught on; even the website is empty and looks bogus. This year, the Australian organizers promise over a billion participants in 133 countries. A lot of press releases are flying round the internet, but something seems to be missing. This year the lights are going out not with a bang, but a whimper.

Three years ago in Toronto, ten thousand people turned up to hear Nelly Furtado sing "Turn out the light" at an Earth Hour concert in Toronto; last year a couple of hundred showed up; this year the concert is cancelled.
