Pay back Time: Our Way of Giving Back the Favor to the Earth that Sustain Us

On March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) wants you to turn off your lights for Earth Hour and join a billion other people across the Earth in showing our world leaders that you want decisive action on global warming.

“When leaders gather in Copenhagen in December 2009 to negotiate a new deal on climate they must feel that the eyes of the world are upon them. Earth Hour provides an opportunity for the public to send a powerful signal that they are watching and expect action.” -Jim Leape, Director General of WWF International

As of today, 74 cities in 62 countries have committed to Earth Hour 2009. Individuals, governments, and businesses are invited to take part in this historic climate event, with the goal of one billion people in 1,000 cities across the globe, all turning off their lights and appliances for one hour.

“2009 is the year we decide the future of the earth. It is the year when the world meets to agree on a plan to reduce carbon emissions across the globe. This is the time to invest in new ways of doing business in a new low carbon economy. We must all step over the line together if we are to succeed.” -Andy Ridley, Executive Director of Earth Hour Global
