Earth Hour 2008
Between 8pm-9pm on 29 March, millions of people around the world will take part in Earth Hour 2008
This is a WWF initiative asking people to turn their lights off for one hour.
It started with a question:
how could WWF inspire people to take action on climate change?
The answer was to ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour.
Last March, in Sydney, 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses did exactly that as a demonstration of their support for global action against climate change. Their inspirational collective effort reduced the city’s energy consumption by a whopping 10.2% during that hour – equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road.
Such a shame that our own UK Switch Off Day didn’t show a big difference.
But here’s a chance to contribute again.
