Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007 with homes and businesses switching off their lights for one hour.

Did you vote Earth on 28 March 2009?

Switched off your lights for one hour on Saturday, at 8.30 pm?

Just one hour of your time to help contribute to

My family was in Penang that night. We showed our support by switching off all the lights in our room from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm. And the Hotel we stayed in, supported Earth Hour 2009, by supplying their guests with candles. It was a gesture which we appreciated very much.

Total darkness for one hour... no "lights", no television... total silence except for our voices. It was a great time for bonding and sharing ...shhhhh!
