Saturday 27 March, 8.30pm

WWF’s Earth Hour is an inspiring message of hope and action – a global demonstration about climate change. Our campaign needs your commitment – so put the date in your diary and get ready for Earth Hour 2010!

WWF’s Earth Hour 2010 aims to unite the world’s people to demonstrate their concern about climate change. It will let world leaders know the world is still watching, following the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2009, and expects them to take urgent action to tackle climate change.

Earth Hour 2009 was hugely successful, reaching millions of people across the world. In Scotland more than ten thousand people took part and lights went out in each of Scotland's six cities as well as on the nation's most iconic landmarks, including the Forth Rail Bridge, the Clyde Arc and Stirling Castle. The event was also supported in Scotland by 20 local authorities, 300 schools and over one hundred businesses and organisations. 

We want to make Earth Hour 2010 even bigger and better and we’re already in touch with some organisations to discuss how they can participate. Whether you are a business, local authority, school, community group or individual, we’d love you to take part. If you’d like more information just get in touch – email Scotland@wwf.org.uk , phone 01350 728200 or just sign up
