.     More than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for WWF’s Earth Hour 2011, sending a powerful message for action on climate change. It also ushered in a new era with members going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action for the planet. Without a doubt, it’s shown how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.

On Saturday, March 31 between 8:30 p.m.–9:30 p.m. join millions of voices who will again come together and switch off.  Earth Hour is a unique opportunity for us to take action within our community. It’s been the source of inspiration for millions of people taking steps towards a cleaner, safer future. It’s not just about saving energy for one hour, it’s about going Beyond the Hour with lasting, behaviour-changing actions for a sustainable planet.
