Earth Hour 2009 has one goal: to unite the citizens of the world in the fight against climate change to convince governments and world leaders that our planet needs our help, right now. By registering on the Earth Hour website, your name will form part of a petition that will be sent to the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year to put pressure on world leaders to pass appropriate legislation on climate change.

Originating in Sydney in 2007, the Earth Hour initiative had two million people coming together to switch off their lights for one hour. Following on from this success, 2008 saw an estimated 50 million people taking part. This year, it is hoped that at least 1 billion people will show their support.

On Saturday, Earth Hour will see the lights go out in at least 1 200 cities and towns across 80 countries, including Johannesburg and Cape Town among others! Some of the most recognised attractions on the planet will also go dark, including Cape Town’s Table Mountain, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Merlion in Singapore, the Sydney Opera House, the iconic six-star hotel - the Burj al Arab - in Dubai, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the world’s tallest constructed building, the Taipei 101.

Your vote can help Earth Hour to reach its global goal of at least one billion registered participants.
