PEOPLE in Somerset are being invited to join the rest of the planet in Earth Hour today by switching off their lights at 8pm.

To mark the moment, people are encouraged to turn off all lights and unused appliances at the switch for an hour.

A spokesman said: "Whether it's a picnic at the beach, a candle lit dinner or barbeque at home with your friends and family, or simply sitting and enjoying the darkness, there are loads of things you can do during Earth Hour."
