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

against global warming. |
