Bold, Simple and accessible, Earth Hour 2009 has one major aim; to show governments, individuals and businesses that it is possible to take action on climate change. The world can no longer wait; and the first step is as easy as switching off a light. In what we hope will be the world’s largest mass participation event, Earth Hour will be the culmination of one billion people around the globe, in more than 1,000 cities from business, government and the community switching off lights, as a message, to leaders of the world run up to the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009 that we need a commitment to actions that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the short and long term benefit of the planet. In 2008 50 million people across 35 countries switched off their lights for one hour!
