ABOUT
EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour began seven years ago in
Sydney, Australia, out of a hope that
we could make a stand against climate
change. The hour of inspiration would
be a moment where people can gather
together to protect the planet regardless
of age, gender, culture or religion.
Little did we know that it would kick
start a global revolution for people to
take action on climate change, or that
the act of turning off our lights for an
hour would become an iconic symbol of
people’s concern to protect the planet.
As of 2014, it has grown to become the
world’s largest mass participation event
in history.
However, Earth Hour was not created
to just switch off the lights.
