EARTH
HOUR
Earth Hour is a worldwide grassroots
movement uniting people to protect the planet, and
is organized by WWF(with
panda’s logo). Earth Hour aims to encourage an interconnected
global community to share the
opportunities and challenges of creating a sustainable world.
Engaging a massive mainstream
community on a broad range of environmental issues, Earth
Hour was famously started as a
lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then it has
grown to engage more than 7000
cities and towns worldwide, and the one-hour event
continues to remain the key
driver of the now larger movement. The Eiffel Tower, London
Clock tower, St. Basil’s
Cathedral in Moscow turned their light off during the project. Earth
Hour is an initiative of
WWF. In 2007, WWF initiated Earth Hour a
way of engaging a broad
section of society in the
environmental issues challenging citizens across the world. The
second-to-last and last
weekend of March is around the time of the Spring and Autumn
equinoxes in the northern and
southern hemispheres respectively, which allows for near
coincidental sunset times in
both hemispheres, so ensuring the greatest visual impact
for a global ‘lights out’
event. Earth Hour 2014 will be held on Saturday 29 March between
8.30PM and 9.30PM in your
local time zone. The first thing anyone can do to get involved is
to turn off their lights on
Saturday. But there’s much, much more. But our full ambition is for
people to take action beyond
the hour. Whether it’s supporting a crowdfunding or
crowdsroucing campaign on “www.earthhour.org”
or getting involved in Earth Hour
campaigns in their own
country, or starting the movement in their own community. The
vision is always to do more,
so make the light switch the beginning of your journey.
