Earth Hour is a WWF initiative created to raise awareness about climate change. Last year, WWF-Australia pioneered Earth Hour and it was a huge success! More than 2 million people and 2,100 businesses participated resulting in a 10% reduction on the electrical grid, saving 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide – the equivalent of taking about 50,000 cars off the road for an hour. This year WWF is bringing Earth Hour to the world and BC Hydro wants to help.
