Earth Hour The key objective for Earth Hour is to engage as many households, communities and business to turn their lights out for one hour on March from 8pm– 9pm. In 2008, Earth Hour will be taking place in over 20 cities around the world, and the list keeps growing. It is hoped that Earth Hour will grow into a global campaign. Earth Hour shows that, together, our small actions can make a difference to global warming.
