MAKE EARTH HOUR HAPPEN IN YOUR TOWN
A list of ideas you can implement, no matter where you live!

8:30pm Saturday 28 March 2009

-Your Goal-
Get the most people, businesses and government involved in Earth Hour and get them to turn
off their lights for one hour at 8:30pm on March 28, 2009.

Making Earth Hour happen
1) Building your team
A good team is one of the biggest success factors for making Earth Hour happen around the
world. Put together a team of committed people and organisations to help plan how you can
turn out the lights for one hour in your area.
Members of your Earth Hour Team could include your friends or schoolmates, members of
your family or your neighbours, the local mayor or business leader, or your local school
principal.
Pull together a team of people and organisations willing to put the time and effort into making
Earth Hour happen and you’ll be ready to get started.

2) Spread the word about Earth Hour
To inspire yourself and those you speak to about Earth Hour, check out www.earthhour.org to
watch the Earth Hour video. This video will go a long way to inspiring you and those you speak
to, to get involved in Earth Hour and to help take a stand against climate change.
Think about how you could spread the word about Earth Hour in your area, how can you
encourage the most people and businesses to turn their lights of for one hour at 8:30pm on
Saturday 28 March 2009?
Thinking small can be big thinking
We’ve created a website to help you spread the word about Earth Hour. Register at
www.earthhour.org and recruit your friends to the Earth Hour cause. Getting your friends and
neighbourhood involved is the easiest way to be a part of Earth Hour and help make a
difference to our planet.

Think big
Who in your town uses lots of power? First stop? The city. The city is one of the largest users of
power in your area. Write to your mayor or present the Earth Hour idea at your local council. If
you can get the city involved in turning off their non-essential lighting for Earth Hour (you can
leave street lights on for safety), your town can make a huge difference.
Office buildings and big retail stores also use a lot of power. Write to the businesses and stores
in your area and ask them to darken their buildings, neon signs, stores and restaurants for one
hour for Earth Hour.
Ask your favourite restaurants to have a candle-lit dinner hour (using beeswax candles of
course) and feature fresh “cold” dishes in the menu or use local products.
Write to your local newspaper or television channel and tell them what you’re doing – try and
get some news coverage of what your town wants to do for Earth Hour and the planet…think
big!

3) Be creative!
As well as asking as many people and businesses as possible to turn off their lights in your city
or town at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009, think creatively about how to bring your friends and
family together for the night.
Organise a “block party” in your neighbourhood with “in the dark” games and activities,
organise a movie or music night at someone’s house, look up at the stars, use the hour to talk
about what you can do every day to save energy.
Think about the different ways to have fun with Earth Hour.

4) What to do everyday

Turning off your lights for one hour at 8:30pm on 28 March 2009 is the first part of getting
involved in Earth Hour. Making a difference to the future of our planet by making energy
savings every day is the second part.
When spreading the Earth Hour message, don’t forget to encourage your friends, family and
workmates to turn off unused lights and appliances every day of the year.

5) Make it happen
Every town and city is unique and can bring its own special touch, identity and passion of its
communities to create its own Earth Hour on 28 March 2009. But making Earth Hour happen
is up to you! Whatever you can organise to help turn out the lights on 28 March – whether it’s a
backyard barbeque or asking your local mayor to turn off the city’s nonessential lighting – will be
a success. You can make Earth Hour happen if you work together.

Join us for Earth Hour at 8:30pm Saturday March 28 2009!
