Earth Hour 2011: Growing Beyond the Hour

Sat 26 Mar 2011, 8.30 – 9.30 pm

From WWF:
What can you do beyond Earth Hour to make a real difference for the environment is a challenging but inspiring call for action from EH organizers to the earth’s citizens this year.

Earth Hour encourages individuals, businesses and governments to show leadership on environmental solutions through their actions, to use Earth Hour as a platform to showcase to the world what measures they are taking to reduce their environmental impact.

Earth Hour 2011 will ask individuals, businesses and governments the world over to add more to the annual switch off by showcasing how they are taking action to preserve their environment.

Earth Hour 2011 will ask the world to:
+ Switch off your lights for Earth Hour at 8.30pm, Saturday 26 March 2011 and celebrate your commitment to the planet with the people of the world.
+ Sign up and Share stories of your actions that benefit the planet on earthhour.org
+ Sustain your actions beyond the hour.

In February, earthhour.org will launch a platform enabling participants to share stories of what they’re doing or plan to do to make a real difference to their environment in the year ahead, showing that, no matter how big or small, together our actions add up.

Earth Hour 2010 was the largest voluntary action for the environment in history with lights going out across 128 countries and over 4,500 cities worldwide. Earth Hour 2011 will again see hundreds of millions of people across all continents come together to celebrate an unambiguous commitment to the planet.

Vietnam joined Earth Hour in 2009 and 2010 with great support and participation from millions of individuals, organizations, and businesses from all walks of life. This year we hope this number will grow much bigger and the spirit of Earth Hour will carry on to further action by the community in the years ahead.
