EARTH HOUR – 8.30pm-9.30pm, Sat 28th March
At 8.30pm Saturday March 28, 2009, towns and cities throughout New Zealand and across the world will turn off their lights for just one hour – EARTH HOUR – to show that it is possible to take action on climate change.
Switching off is a simple action that can make a difference and it sends a powerful message that the people of the world care about the future of the planet.
What Can You Do?
1. Sign up at www.earthhour.org/newzealand and find out other ways that you can participate..
2. Turn all your lights off and take appliances off standby.
3. Spread the word about Earth Hour.
At Starfish we’ll be participating by turning our lights off during Earth Hour as well as giving away free candles on the day to help you prepare. Starfish designer Laurie Foon is also an ambassador for Earth Hour, spreading the word and the vision.
