Update 29 March 2008: After I posted this list, the final list came to 26.

There are now 24 cities around the world officially participating in Earth Hour next weekend (29 March at 8pm).

The cities participating in Earth Hour are:

Australia

• Sydney
• Perth
• Melbourne
• Canberra
• Brisbane
• Adelaide

United States

• Atlanta
• Chicago
• San Francisco
• Phoenix

Thailand

• Bangkok

Canada

• Montreal
• Ottawa
• Toronto
• Vancouver

Ireland

• Dublin

Denmark

• Aarhus
• Aalborg
• Copenhagen
• Odense

Philippines

• Manila

Fiji

• Suva

Israel

• Tel Aviv

New Zealand

• Christchurch

Hey, if your city isn’t on the official list it doesn’t mean you can’t participate! According to the Earth Hour website:

While there are 24 official cities taking part in Earth Hour, there are many more cities expected to turn off the lights all over the world, and WWF-Australia estimates that more than 30 million people will take part. To date, 58,615 people have signed up to Earth Hour but that number is set to soar.

In any case, regardless of whether your city is participating, you can still participate. All you need to do is switch your lights off between 8pm and 9pm on Saturday, March 29. Yes, it’s that easy!
