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.

In most parts of the world, Earth Hour 2009 took place from 8:00pm-9:00pm on the last Saturday of March. In Australia, Earth Hour was held from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.

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. The following year, 2008, saw Earth Hour go global, when an estimated 50 million people, businesses and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour.

According to Wikipedia (see related links), the earliest record was around AD 379.

A: The earliest known references point to the mid fourth century, but could have been earlier. There is no precise start date, as Christmas was honored at different times. It became firmly set on the 25th by established tradition sometime in the early Middle Ages (after ~400AD) .

According to the official ABS website, 34.92 megawattswere saved through the power scheme of Earth Hour. Yours sincerly, Anne Onymous.

He is actually on his way there right now!! Get to bed quick!

When our Elf on the Shelf, "Pickle", makes his appearance the morning after Thanksgiving, I notice an immediate change in our son's behavior. He's usually a good kid, but everyone has their off-days, but when Pickle's around he tries extra hard to control his temper, be helpful around the house, etc. So I'd say Elf Magic Works!

Earth Hour is useful because it educates people a little about what they can do to lower their carbon footprints. This has to be a good thing, but if we want to prevent global warming, then governments have to put a price on carbon emissions.

During Earth Hour, firstly, you turn off lights for an hour. To really get into the spirit and purpose of the event, it is suggested to also turn off non-essential electrical appliances, such as electronic gadgetry, televisions, DVD recorders, computers, etc. However, remember that Earth Hour is entirely voluntary, and even the smallest change can help raise awareness and make a difference.

The point of Earth Hour is to draw attention to how much electricity we use, and do without it for one hour. The amount we save is miniscule, world-wide, but the message is more important.

Use candles if you like, but not the ones with a metallic wick. These are often made of lead and put very harmful amounts of lead into the atmosphere and lungs of those nearby. Preferably do not use the cheap candles made from paraffin, a fossil fuel. Beeswax candles would be the best. You can also purchase torches that do not use electricity or batteries, but are hand-powered, turning a handle to generate the bulb. It can store the hand-generated power for some time, so you do not have to keep turning the handle.

Limited travel except on foot or by bike is suggested also, for those who are truly serious about making a difference. While turning off a 20 W light for an hour saves 20 gm of CO2 from the power station's exhaust, this is the same amount of CO2 emitted by an SUV driving 200 ft, or a Boeing 747 travelling 9 inches.

The purpose of Earth Hour is to switch off your lights for one hour to save electricity more than you ever would have. The light source most people is the use of candles. Earth hour first started in Sydney 2007. But now, in 2012, more than 135 countries will be participating.

Eight Thirty PM in every time zone in the world!

Christmas started when Baby Jesus was born on December 25th to the virgin Mary who was engaged to Joseph. I hope this helps, if not, sorry.

Pope Julius I chose December 25th as the date to celebrate the birth of Christ. The bible does not actually give the date of his birth so the church chose a date to recognize it.
