Adopt a Giant panda and help WWF protect our Earth - every hour
Thank you New Zealand!
1.25 million of you switched off for Earth Hour
Colmar Brunton polling revealed that 42 per cent of the adult population took part on Saturday 27 March by switching off their lights and/or unnecessary appliances for one hour .
“The fact four out of ten Kiwis felt inspired to take part in Earth Hour is a fantastic result,” said Chris Howe, WWF-New Zealand’s Executive Director.
“This demonstrates that New Zealanders care about climate change, and are prepared to take personal action to get the message across."
New Zealand joined a record 128 countries and territories in the global display of action for Earth Hour 2010, making it the world's largest ever global climate change initiative. Results are still coming in from across the world - we'll keep you posted.
Earth Hour is a community event - you made it happen.
