The concept of Earth Hour is based upon conserving energy, and hence, opting for a sustainable future. Experts around the world believe that excessive energy consumption is one of the primary causes of global warming that is being experienced around the world. Thus, by switching off non-essential lights for an hour, people not only aim to conserve energy but also bring awareness about the deteriorating environment around us.
The first Earth Hour took place in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. It was an idea developed by newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald and WWF. For that first ever Earth hour, 2.2 million homes and businesses in the Sydney area switched off their lights for the period of one hour. In one year Earth Hour grew from that one event in one city to a worldwide movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe turned out for Earth Hour. In 2009, Earth Hour took place across 25 time zones in over 4,000 cities and towns, in 88 countries, and involved hundreds of millions of people.
The first country to observe Earth Hour was Australia in 2007. Earth Hour was started by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as a way to raise awareness about climate change.
earth hour started in New Zealand because it is the first to get sun ray.
