3 months after the failure of COP15 in
Copenhagen, Earth Hour succeeded in
being the global call to action to stand up,
take control and lead the journey towards a
sustainable future.

Children from Hong Kong show
their support for Earth Hour 2010
by making lanterns and holding
up their fingers to make “V for
Victory” signs.
