Don’t forget to turn off the lights!
Tonight at 8:30, people around the world will turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – to take action on climate change. Switching off your lights is just one simple step you can take to help make a difference and send a message that you care about the planet.
The countdown is on for more than 2,100 cities across 82 countries who are committed to this global effort. Help make Earth Hour a successful and powerful event. Participating shows that you want to be a part of the solution:
Sign up for Earth Hour at http://www.worldwildlife.org/
Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to participate.
Download Earth Hour materials, such as web banners, toolkits, logos and posters to help spread the word in your community.
Make every hour Earth Hour. Consider what else can be done within your home and workplace to change behaviour and practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
On Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m. turn off your lights for one hour.
