Earth Hour Unclaimed

Earth Hour 2009 had one major aim: to unite the citizens of the world in the fight against climate change in order to convince governments and world leaders, ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December, that our planet cannot wait any longer

Earth Hour is a global citizen movement of positive change for the environment. For one hour – from 8.30pm to 9.30pm – on the last Saturday of March, people are encouraged to switch off their lights as a symbolic gesture of unity to reflect on our impact on the planet.
