Earth Hour is the world's largest volunteer action to combat climate change led by WWF. Initiated in Sydney, Australia in 2007, it has grown to become a global movement that now involves every continent across the world. Earth Hour invites people everywhere to switch off all unnecessary lights for one hour as a symbolic act to show their commitment to saving the planet.


Earth Hour 2011 saw 5200 cities and towns in 135 countries switch off their lights. Pakistan joined 121 members of the international community on Saturday March 27 for Earth Hour 2010. Earth Hour has swept into Pakistan in a big way, bringing with it a host of significant commitments of action on the environment nation-wide.


The symbolic action of turning lights out for an hour in an expression of concern for the environment is in the process of being officially observed in hundreds of venues and thousands of people across Pakistan. This year, WWF hopes to unite even more people to come together and take part in Earth Hour 2012, through the one thing that truly unites us all; the planet.
