This Saturday, 28 March, at 8.30pm, WWF’s Earth Hour takes place. People, businesses and landmarks around the world will turn off their lights for sixty minutes in a large-scale demonstration against global warming, and as a call to action to the world’s governments and leaders.

On the night, I will be having a pre-arranged dinner party somewhere in the deepest darkest Pennines with a few others I once spent New Year with in a cottage in Wales. By some sort of wonderful coincidence, on that occasion we ended up having an enforced evening of darkness too, including preparing and eating dinner by candlelight. Romantic and challenging in equal measure, I feel. I am very much looking forward to this, more important and voluntary, re-run.

WWF are looking for one billion people to take part in Earth Hour. Sign up and pledge to go dark on Saturday.
