Lights were turned off for Earth Hour in Melbourne

A combination picture shows the Melbourne Arts Centre before (top) and after the lights were turned off for Earth Hour in Melbourne March 26, 2011. Lights started going off around the world on Saturday in a show of support for renewable energy, given added poignancy by Japan's nuclear disaster which raises doubts about nuclear power as a possible solution. Landmarks in thousands of cities, from Sydney Harbour Bridge to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, will turn off the power for Earth Hour, the fifth such event promoting a sustainable future for the planet.
