Last year, on 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney (Australia)
businesses turned off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.
