Earth Hour

At 8pm on 29th March we want you to switch off your lights for one hour to inspire people to take action on climate change as part of WWF's Earth Hour.

Last year more than 2 million people in Sydney flicked off their light switches and enjoyed an hour of darkness for one hour - Earth Hour.

By reducing Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour (the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour) the event showed that together, our small actions can make a difference to global warming.

Landmarks like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turned their lights off, and the worlds media took notice.

This year the event has gone global and many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

Earth Hour will be held at 8pm on March 29th. This year we are getting involved and we want you to join us!

We are already counting down to Earth Hour. Not long now!
