What is Earth Hour?

It is the biggest environmental awareness campaign ever seen!

When is it?
Earth Hour takes place once every year. On the last Saturday of March.

What's the aim?
To raise environmental awareness and get us doing small things in our daily lives that together can have huge impacts.

What does it involve?
Simply turning off your lights for 1 hour. Earth's hour.

How useful is this?
Earth Hour is a highly "visible" symbolic act.

One that millions of people can easily join in with.

And one that allows you to have fun while sending out a serious message to our politicians and governments, that says:

"I care about my planet!"

Beyond the Hour

Earth Hour 2011 will go beyond the hour and beyond climate change, marking a moment where every individual, government and business can make their commitment to environmentally sustainable action for the forthcoming year. Homes, offices, government buildings and iconic landmarks will go dark to acknowledge the actions of people from all corners of the globe that go beyond the hour.

So... what can YOU do?

There's a lot that can be done!

For instance, you can begin spreading the word about Earth Hour.

And in this night, you can turning off your light for 1 hour from 08.30pm - 09.30pm (local time)
