People across the world from all walks of life will join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. 2010 is set to be the biggest Earth Hour yet – read on to find out more about how you can get involved.

Earth Hour 2009
WWF’s Earth Hour 2009 was hugely successful, reaching millions of people across the world. Iconic international landmarks including the Sydney Opera House, the Bird’s Nest stadium in China, the pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, Big Ben and Edinburgh Castle were all plunged into darkness for 60 minutes as part of the largest global action of its kind ever.
