Earth Hour 2008

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., millions of people around the world joined together in making a statement about climate change by turning off their lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe turned out their lights for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America participated, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco, and Canadian cities such as Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
