organisations to help plan how you can turn out the lights for one hour in your
area.
Members of your Earth Hour Team could include your friends or schoolmates,
members of your family or your neighbourhood, the local mayor or business
leader, or your local school principal.
Pull together a team of people and organisations willing to put the time and
effort into making Earth Hour happen and you’ll be ready to get started.
