You can help protect it. Participate in the world’s largest single campaign for the planet: Earth Hour. It starts by turning off your lights for an hour at 8:30 pm on March 31, 2012 in a collective display of commitment to a better future for the planet. Think what can be achieved when we all come together for a common cause.<br /><br />Go Beyond the Hour<br />This Earth Hour we invite you to do more than switch off your lights. We want you to dare the world to save the planet. <br /><br />"I Will If You Will" is a simple promise and a challenge. Dare anyone (your Facebook friends, co-workers, celebrity crushes) to accept your challenge and help protect the Earth or accept the challenge of someone else.<br /><br />The Earth Hour City Challenge encourages cities to prepare for the costly impacts of climate-related extreme weather and to reduce their carbon footprint. You can be an integral part in this challenge. Send a letter to your mayor, urging them to prepare for a changing climate. Check out our map to see how your city is at risk from extreme weather.<br /><br />Why is your participation important?<br />Our future depends on it. Across the world, biodiversity and natural habitats are disappearing at a greater rate than ever before. We are depleting the earth of wild animals, water, wood and other natural resources faster than they can be replenished; polluting and altering natural habitats and changing the entire planet's climate.<br /><br />Things will only worsen if we continue in the same direction.<br /><br />Earth Hour raises awareness of sustainability issues. But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. It’s about giving people a voice and working together to create a better future for our planet. <br /><br />What is WWF doing to create a sustainable future?<br />Transforming business <br />Tackling climate change <br />Developing science-based solutions<br /><br />Earth Hour is so much more than lights out. It’s an invitation to change your world. Will you join us?[/size]
