Earth Hour Launch

Earth Hour 2009 launches!

Last week we launched Earth Hour 2009. We're aiming for 1 billion people to switch their lights off at 8.30pm on March 28 to show the world that it's possible to take action on climate change.

We are trying to convince governments across the world to agree to a strong global deal to tackle climate change, when they meet at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen, in December 2009.

Join us for Earth Hour 2009, turn off your lights at 8.30pm Saturday 28 March and sign-up here.
