Make Earth Hour Happen In Your Town

On 31 March 2007, more than 2 million Sydney businesses and households

turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour - sending a powerful national

and global message that it’s possible to take action on global warming.

At 8pm on 29 March 2008, Earth Hour goes global, with cities and towns

around the world taking stand on the greatest threat our planet has ever

faced, and millions of people uniting to turn the tide on global warming.

If you want to turn out the lights for Earth Hour in your town or city on 29

March 2008, this will help you get started!

Your Goal

Get the most people, businesses and government involved in Earth Hour and

get them to turn off their lights for one hour at 8pm on March 29 2008.

Making Earth Hour happen

1) Building your Team

A good team is one of the biggest success factors for making Earth Hour

happen around the world. Put together a small team of committed people and

organisations to help plan how you can turn out the lights for one hour in your

area.

Members of your Earth Hour Team could include your friends or schoolmates,

members of your family or your neighbourhood, the local mayor or business

leader, or your local school principal.

Pull together a team of people and organisations willing to put the time and

effort into making Earth Hour happen and you’ll be ready to get started.

2) Spread the Word about Earth Hour

get involved in Earth Hour and to help take a stand against global warming.
