This Saturday (23 March 2013) sees the WWF’s Earth Hour 2013 taking place, with companies and individuals urged to take part in the initiative.
At 8:30pm local time on Saturday, 23 March 2013, hundreds of millions of people around the world observe Earth Hour 2013, when the planet goes dark as lights are switched off in a symbolic gesture to pledge their commitment to doing something positive for the planet.
The WWF asks participants to switch off non-essential lights, organise a local get together or participate in whatever way they choose.
The event dates back to Sydney in 2007, when 2-million people switched off their lights. By 2011, Earth Hour was being reported as the world’s largest campaign for the planet and awareness of climate change.
