Hundreds of millions of people, businesses and governments around the world unite each year to support the largest environmental event in history – Earth Hour.
Earth Hour
Taking Earth Hour Beyond the Hour
About Earth Hour
Earth Hour started in Sydney, 2007, when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change.Just 5 years later, more than 7001 cities and towns in 152 countries and territories switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2012, sending a powerful message for action to save the planet. This year also marked the continuation of the movement’s commitment to going Beyond the Hour, with more than 200,000 individuals accepting I Will If You Will challenges on YouTube to turn their symbolic action for the planet into an ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.
And Earth Hour just keeps growing. In Fiji, Earth Hour Ambassador His Excellency the President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau challenged Fijians to do something positive for the environment and in return he walked 30 kilometers to raise awareness for Planet Earth. Hundreds, from company chief executives, permanent secretaries of Government Ministries, women and children joined the 70 year old President in his epic walk.
From raising funds for reforestation to litter bags on buses to reduce pollution, Earth Hour Fiji has risen to a whole new level.
Earth Hour 2013 promises to be even bigger - so stay connected for more.
Going beyond the hour
Earth Hour is about so much more than one hour a year. It’s all about going beyond the hour to help the earth, changing our behaviour to live in a more sustainable way. Whether it’s turning off the lights when they’re not in use, opening the windows instead of using air conditioning, or buying locally produced food, we can all make a difference. 2012's event illustrated without question what can be achieved when people unite with a common purpose and rally to action. President's Walk
As part of his I WIll If You Will Challenge Fijian President and Official Earth Hour Ambassador Ratu Epeli Nailatikau pledged to walk 30 kilometers to raise awareness on climate change and the importance of the environment. He fulfilled his pledge on the 4th of May 2012!
