EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals
and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a
stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a
global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35
countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney
Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and
Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that
grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009 over
4000 cities in 88 countries/territories officially switched off to pledge
their support for the planet.

27 March 2010 broke
new records for participation with 128 countries and territories joining the
global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia
Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off.
