“Earth Hour isn’t just about lights off; it’s about people across the world coming together throughout the year to join forces to improve the planet. Never underestimate your power; never underestimate what you can do.” - Jamie Foxx
Initiated by the World Wide Fune (WWF) for Nature, Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, but the idea quickly spread around the world and hundreds of millions of people are switching their lights off at 8.30pm, in their time zone, for one hour.
Lights went out in some cities and towns for Earth Hour. This year, Australia is shining a spotlight on climate change and the Great Barrier Reef. While other countries such as Singapore is fighting on the battle to stop the killing of wildife, WWF Madagascar is focusing on saving forests and families in Madagascar.
