Why Is Google Black: In honor of Earth Hour 08 - a worldwide event in which people are being asked to turn off the lights in their home for one hour as a statement about global concern over Climate Change - the web search portal Google has decided to temporarily change the color of their front page to black (as opposed to the traditional white) on March 29, 2008.
