Earth Hour

Turn Off the Lights to Help Halt Climate Change

The next Earth Hour will be held on Saturday, 30 March 2013 between 8.30PM and 9.30PM.

• Register your Earth Hour event

Earth Hour is an annual global WWF climate change initiative. 

Help raise awareness of the need to take action on climate change. Join the rest of the world and turn off your non essential lights and other appliances for one hour.

Earth Hour is held on the last Saturday of March as this is around the time of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively, which allows for near coincidental sunset times in both hemispheres, thereby ensuring the greatest visual impact for a global ‘lights out’ event.

In 2012, four local events were held by Naremburn, Artarmon and Northbridge Progress Associations in the Willoughby City area:

• Wilkes Avenue, Artarmon 2pm to 10pm
• The Concourse, Chatswood 6pm to 8.30pm
• Naremburn Shops Car Park 7pm to 9.30pm  
• Northbridge  

For more information on local events, phone 9777 1000 or view events in Diary Dates.
