Travis Mills, Unicef Climate Change ambassador from Nelson, says he is supporting Earth Hour because:
"My generation doesn't know a lot about what the future holds for us. One thing that we can be sure of is unless we make changes and sacrifices for a different, better and greener tomorrow our grandchildren will one day look at us and blame us for not saving the amazing experiences that they and their children have missed out on forever.
"By myself my voice can easily be lost but when youth join with other youth and with millions of others we can make a statement that can be heard from bluff NZ all the way up to Northern Greenland. Together change can and will come, that’s why I support earth hour."

Abby Ward, UNICEF Climate Change Ambassador, Auckland says:
"Our actions are already affecting young people from all over the world- from climate change induced droughts and floods in Africa to sea level rise in Kiribati. Earth Hour is a global action, which crosses all cultures and ages, and shows the need for an interconnected, united effort to combat climate change and help our neighbours adapt to changes.
"At 8.30pm, March 27th, don't just switch off the lights and sit there- talk with friends and family about climate change… and maybe even dream up an environmental action for your own community!"

Erana Walker, UNICEF Climate Change Ambassador from Whangarei, says:
"When looking out into the world you see many wonderful things, whether it’s on land or out in the ocean. For me, not being able to see these things ever again is an alarming issue that we all need to start catering to, and if earth hour is something that can help towards sustaining these wonderful things then I totally support it!"

Ambassador Rick Zwaan from Auckland, says:
"Earth hour is the perfect opportunity to show our consideration and commitment to our peers around the world who are already suffering because of Climate Change. It’s time to take a lead and show our 'leaders' that we care and are willing to change. It’s time to create a cohesive community."
