SUMMARY
OF EARTH HOUR
The Issue
Climate change is the most significant threat to life
on Earth. One way to slow the current rate of global
warming is to get each individual to make small adjustments
to the way they live. To achieve individual change we
need to demonstrate how simple and easy the changes
are.
The Solution
An event that gets full community involvement in a simple
action that will make a difference. WWF-Australia invites
all households and businesses to turn off their lights
for one hour at 8pm on March 29 2008 – this is
Earth Hour.

What candles
should I use for my Earth Hour event?
If you plan on burning candles during Earth Hour, make
sure you use 100% beeswax candles which are gentler
on our planet - smoke free, non-toxic and non-allergenic.
They are also made of natural products, not petroleum-based
materials, so they are effectively carbon neutral (the
CO2 they emit has already been taken from the atmosphere
to produce the wax).
