Get Ready for Earth Hour

Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced - climate change, Earth Hour uses the simple action of people turning off their lights for one hour all at the same time to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming. This campaign has captured a lot of attention all over the world. And at 8pm on the 29 March, 2008, millions of people in many of the world’s major capital cities, including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tel Aviv and Manila will unite and switch off for Earth Hour, there will most likely be a lot more by March.

More info can be found here at the Earth Hour site http://www.earthhour.org/ where you can add your name to the Earth Hour movement, receive useful tools and tips to help you get even more involved, and learn how to organize Earth Hour in your town or local community.

As well as turning off the lights for an hour, we can all do some simple things like turning off appliances while not in use and switching your lightbulbs to energy efficient bulbs, will all help us reach our goal of reducing our annual emissions by 5%. Even something as simple as turning out lights when you’re not in a room and switching to cleaner sources of electricity like green power, make a big difference.
