More than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2011, sending a powerful message for action on climate change. It also ushered in a new era with members going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action for the planet. Without a doubt, it’s shown how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause. 

Earth Hour happens because of the committed teams around the world that work tirelessly to get lights switched off. Coordinating their tremendous efforts is a small team of Sydney-siders – the Earth Hour Global Team.
