MAKE EARTH HOUR HAPPEN IN YOUR TOWN
A list of ideas you can implement, no matter where you live!
8:30pm Saturday 28 March 2009

In 2007, more than two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights forone hour - Earth Hour - sending a powerful global message that it’s possible to take action onclimate change.

Just one year later, Earth Hour reached more than 50 million people in 35 countries across 18timezones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement.

In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach one billion people in 1000 cities worldwide. If you want tobring Earth Hour to your town or city on 28 March 2009 at 8:30pm, this will help you getstarted!

Your Goal
Get the most people, businesses and government involved in Earth Hour and get them to turnoff their lights for one hour at 8:30pm on March 28, 2009.

Making Earth Hour happen
1) Building your team
A good team is one of the biggest success factors for making Earth Hour happen around theworld. Put together a team of committed people and organisations to help plan how you canturn out the lights for one hour in your area.Members of your Earth Hour Team could include your friends or schoolmates, members ofyour family or your neighbours, the local mayor or business leader, or your local schoolprincipal.Pull together a team of people and organisations willing to put the time and effort into makingEarth Hour happen and you’ll be ready to get started.
2) Spread the word about Earth Hour
To inspire yourself and those you speak to about Earth Hour, check out www.earthhour.org towatch the Earth Hour video. This video will go a long way to inspiring you and those you speakto, to get involved in Earth Hour and to help take a stand against climate change.Think about how you could spread the word about Earth Hour in your area, how can youencourage the most people and businesses to turn their lights of for one hour at 8:30pm onSaturday 28 March 2009?
Thinking small can be big thinkingWe’ve created a website to help you spread the word about Earth Hour. Register atwww.earthhour.org and recruit your friends to the Earth Hour cause. Getting your friends andneighbourhood involved is the easiest way to be a part of Earth Hour and help make adifference to our planet.Think bigWho in your town uses lots of power? First stop? The city. The city is one of the largest users ofpower in your area. Write to your mayor or present the Earth Hour idea at your local council. Ifyou can get the city involved in turning off their non-essential lighting for Earth Hour (you canleave street lights on for safety), your town can make a huge difference.Office buildings and big retail stores also use a lot of power. Write to the businesses and storesin your area and ask them to darken their buildings, neon signs, stores and restaurants for onehour for Earth Hour.Ask your favourite restaurants to have a candle-lit dinner hour (using beeswax candles ofcourse) and feature fresh “cold” dishes in the menu or use local products.Write to your local newspaper or television channel and tell them what you’re doing - try andget some news coverage of what your town wants to do for Earth Hour and the planet…thinkbig!
3) Be creative!
As well as asking as many people and businesses as possible to turn off their lights in your cityor town at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009, think creatively about how to bring your friends andfamily together for the night.Organise a “block party” in your neighbourhood with “in the dark” games and activities,organise a movie or music night at someone’s house, look up at the stars, use the hour to talkabout what you can do every day to save energy.Think about the different ways to have fun with Earth Hour.
4) What to do everyday
Turning off your lights for one hour at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009 is the first part of gettinginvolved in Earth Hour. Making a difference to the future of our planet by making energysavings every day is the second part.When spreading the Earth Hour message, don’t forget to encourage your friends, family andworkmates to turn off unused lights and appliances every day of the year.
5) Make it happen
Every town and city is unique and can bring its own special touch, identity and passion of itscommunities to create its own Earth Hour on 28 March 2009. But making Earth Hour happenis up to you!
