Earth Hour

Here’s a video created by an Australian who was inspired to write a simple tune for a greater cause, Earth Hour, which was “celebrated” on 31st March 2007. The event was jointly organised by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald. For an hour between 7:30 and 8:30pm in Sydney that night, all the lights went out and the event was such an unexpected success that WWF will now make it an annual event in more cities.

To find out why turning the lights out in Sydney for an hour was a significant step in environmental awareness and what impact that hour had on the environment, read more about it at http://earthhour.smh.com.au/
