Earth Hour 2012

EARTH HOUR -- As the largest environmental event in history, Earth Hour recently launched “I will if You Will” – the official 2012 campaign to showcase how everyone has the power to change the world they live in.

Earth Hour 2012 is taking a big step by doing three simultaneous switch-off ceremonies in Manila, Davao, and Cebu on March 31, 2012 from 8:30 pm to 9:30pm.

For the first time, Earth Hour, to be held on 31 March, is taking a creative leap from its annual lights out event to offer a further opportunity for its communities to be part of actual environmental solutions. 

Earth Hour began as a single-city initiative in 2007 and has since grown to be a 5251-city strong global movement, reaching 1.8 billion people in 135 countries across all seven continents.

Earth Hour Philippines has led the global switch-off since 2009, ranking number one globally in terms of town and city participation for three consecutive years. A record-breaking 1661 Philippine cities and municipalities switched off in 2011, 1076 in 2010, 647 for 2009 and over 50 during the country’s inaugural Earth Hour switch-off in 2008.
