Today is the day… Earth Hour 2009 starts in New Zealand in about an hour. Turn off your lights from 8:30 – 9:30 pm (your local timezone) to show your support for Earth Hour.
Earth Hour’s aim is to inspire and organize over 1 billion people in 1,000 cities around the world to participate and show their support by switching off their lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday March 28th.
In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change. One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen.
With the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote, Vote Earth is a global call to action for every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet.
