Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia. More than 2.2 million people across the world turned off their lights.

2011 will be the fourth year that Edmonton participates in Earth Hour. Earth Hour gives us all a chance to reflect on our energy consumption. It is important to continue to make changes to your everyday lifestyle and show you care about the planet.
