About Earth Hour :
Earth Hour is a WWF initiative where citizens around the globe can show their support for action on climate change by turning off lights for one hour. WWF’s Earth Hour is an inspiring message of hope and action – a global demonstration about climate change. At 8.30pm on 31st March 2012, cities, towns and municipalities across the world will turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – sending a powerful global message that it’s possible to take action on global warming. Earth Hour began in one city, in one country in 2007. More than 2.2 million households and businesses in Sydney, Australia turned off their lights for one hour on Saturday 31 March 2007. Just one year later, Earth Hour reached 370 cities and towns in more than 35 countries across 18 time zones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement. In its third year Earth Hour 2009 created history as the greatest voluntary action ever witnessed.
India observed the Earth Hour with 92 other countries between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm on Saturday. As the clock struck 8:30 pm on Saturday, hundreds of Delhiites and people in other cities voluntarily switched off their lights for one hour to observe Earth Hour, a global climate awareness initiative.
