It’s that time of year again - we’re launching Earth Hour! This year we’re aiming for one billion people worldwide. Over 93 councils in Australia have already committed to taking part. It’s a crucial time for Australia and the world to put pressure on leaders to commit to good emissions targets.

World leaders will meet in Copenhagen in December 2009 to commit to emission reduction targets to replace the Kyoto Protocol. Preliminary meetings are taking place in Poznan, Poland, right now. We need to put as much pressure on our leaders between now and then as possible. There are a few ways you can do this -

• take part in Earth Hour 2009
• contact your local representative and let them know how you feel about climate change
• donate to the WWF Australia Earth Hour appeal.

Earth Hour Australia is a project of WWF-Australia, and this year we are asking for your help to make it the biggest one yet. If you are able to, please consider donating to the WWF Earth Hour Appeal

Hope to see you there!
