Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness. In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Eddie

Event Details

Edinburgh businesses and residents at the West End will be joining the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh Castle and Forth Road Bridge along with over 930 cities and towns in 80 countries across the world by taking part in the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) "Earth Hour 2009”.

 

Earth Hour 2009 is a massive global demonstration of how important the issues of energy wastage and Climate Change are to all of us.  Between 8.30 and 9.30 pm on Sat 28th March the world will be switching off its lights.

 

In the Dean Gardens we will be organising a unique night of fun to promote the event: a fantastic, no-technology party in the gardens under the canvas of a large Mongolian style Yurt! 

 

Sponsored by Ezone Software and the Scottish Yurt Company we will enjoy an evening of acoustic music and socialising with ambient lighting in the beautiful setting of the gardens.  Local residents and businesses are encouraged to switch off their lights alongside Edinburgh Castle for an hour of darkness to show their commitment to climate change.

 

As well as being a really enjoyable night it will allow us to join in with the hundreds of millions of others, from all cultures across the world, in stating our support for global sustainability. 

 

So please switch off your lights and come and join us for an evening of socialising and acoustic music.
