An open invitation to Earth Hour 2010. Tell your friends!
Last year on Saturday 28 March at 8.30pm local time, the world switched off its lights for an hour.
It was the biggest call for international action on climate change ever seen, and it was called Earth Hour – organised by the international conservation charity WWF.
And nearly 1 billion people joined in, signed up and switched off.
Now in its forth year, Earth Hour 2010 is taking place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm, and it needs to be even bigger. After the disappointing lack of commitment in Copenhagen last December, Earth Hour is our chance to show we’ve not given up.
Getting the attention of world leaders is never going to be an easy task, but Earth Hour is becoming impossible to ignore. So far, 579 cities and towns have signed up in 77 countries. And the list of iconic landmarks that will be plunged into darkness is growing longer and more impressive by the day.
The Las Vegas strip, the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the Empire State building, the Pyramids of Giza, the Acropolis, Tapei 101 tower in Taiwan, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye are just some of over 1000 monuments and buildings across the globe that will be switching off.
