Earth Hour reminder
The Australian initiated ‘Earth Hour’ has gone global.
On March 29, at 8 pm local time, people in businesses, communities and at home are asked to turn their lights out for one hour. Millions of people around the globe will be engaging in this endeavour designed to raise awareness about what people can do together to reduce their carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Last year, 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses in Sydney turned out their lights for one hour, reducing the city’s energy consumption by more than 10%, the equivalent of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour. This is a great time to take part in a global action to address climate change and begin to see the difference you can make. For more information, go to www.wwf.org.au
