Earth Hour!
Earth Hour was a movement started in Sydney a year ago to make a statement and send a message nationally and internationally for the need to take action against Global Warming. On the 31st of March 2007, over 2 Million Sydney businesses and households switched off their lights. They found that the reduction in greenhouse gas emission during Earth Hour was equivalent to 48,161 cars off the road in a year.
