Every Year the World Wildlife Fund organizes a movement across the world to get everyone to turn off their lights for one hour. This is an action to limit energy consumption, fight for climate change, and show respect for the environment.
Homes, schools, businesses and iconic landmarks across the planet will turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour.
At 8.30 pm local time on Saturday 31 March, Earth Hour 2012 will see hundreds of millions of people around the world cross borders of race, religion, culture, geography and society to unite in a single moment of contemplation for the planet and celebration of their year-round commitment to protect it.
This event has grown from a single-city initiative in 2007 to become the world’s largest display of environmental action, with citizens of 135 countries and territories across every continent coming together for Earth Hour 2012 indicating a growing global movement of positive change in environmental attitudes.
