In an effort to reduce global warming, Saturday 21st March 2007 will mark the first Earth Hour. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to participate. My current employer sent around a general email last week notifying everybody that they were getting involved, which is awesome!
View the Earth Hour commercial on YouTube.
This year’s Earth Hour will happen in Sydney, but we hope that Earth Hour can grow into a global campaign. If you live outside of Sydney, you can show your support by joining us and turning off your lights at 09:30:00 a.m. Saturday March 31, 2007 in GMT (here’s a handy timezone converter just in case).
For Earth Hour to have a big impact, as many people as possible need to take part.
Three Steps for getting involved:
1. SIGN UP TO EARTH HOUR and commit to turning off your lights on 31 March from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. It’s free!
2. GET OFF STANDBY Unplug any appliances – mobile phone charger, TV, microwave, MP3 player – that are not being used and are on standby. Appliances left on standby account for up to 10% of the average household’s electricity use.
3. SPREAD THE WORD about Earth Hour by involving your friends and family. Encourage them to sign-up turn off their lights at 7.30pm AEST Saturday 31 March 2007.
