Created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a POWERFUL MESSAGE about the need for action on global warming.

Be part of making Earth Hour 2008 a huge, global success by telling your friends and family. Remember, every single light makes a statement and makes a difference.

Last year, on 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney (Australia) businesses turned off their lights for one hour ­Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour.

  1. Not just the lights, but unplug some lamps, toasters, TVs, DVDs, VPs, pagers recharger, laptops recharger, and computers as well.



    After Earth Hour, we still should leave some things unplugged because it'll be already unplugged :) Because that way we will contiune conserve enegry.
