Miami Earth Hour

Saturday, March 28, 2009
8:30 pm

In 2007, more than two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour - sending a powerful global message that it's possible to take action on climate change. Just one year later, Earth Hour reached more than 50 million people in 35 countries across 18 time zones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement. In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach one billion people in 1000 cities worldwide, including Miami and Miami Beach.
