10 ways to spend Earth Hour

Earth Hour is about taking simple steps everyday that collectively reduce carbon emissions – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

Here are 10 different ways to spend Earth Hour and reduce your carbon footprint:

# 1 Attend a local Earth Hour event or organise your own by throwing an Earth Hour street party with your neighbours
# 2. Gather family and friends for a night picnic in your local park and look at the stars
# 3. Enjoy a family dinner by candlelight
# 4. Organise a treasure hunt in the dark
# 5. Take the dog for a night walk
# 6. Have a candle-lit bath
# 7. Sit in the dark and share stories
# 8. Organise a family night playing board games
# 9. Share a romantic night in with your loved one
# 10. Upload your ‘on the night’ photos and videos to flickr and YouTube respectively, and then add them to the Earth Hour flickr group and the global YouTube Group.

Earth Hour Executive Director, Andy Ridley, is encouraging people to participate in whatever way they choose and to think beyond the hour.

“There are no hard and fast rules surrounding participation in Earth Hour. We only ask that you flick that switch and have fun doing whatever you choose to do during that time.

Make Earth Hour work for you. Families with young children should feel free to turn their lights off earlier than 8:30pm and for those having too much fun in the dark during the hour, don’t feel you have to limit yourself to one hour and switch back on at 9:30pm.”
