Earth Hour 2010

Saturday 27th March 2010 at 8.30 p.m.

Earth Hour 2010 promises to be an even bigger event than previously. At 8.30p.m. on 27th March 2009 cities across the world will turn off their lights for one hour. The World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour 2010 aims to unite the world’s people to demonstrate their concern about climate change. It will let world leaders know the world is still watching, following the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2009, and expects them to take urgent action to tackle climate change. In 2009 more than 4000 cities in 88 countries participated. What candles should you use for the Earth Hour event? WWF-Australia recommend as follows:

"If you plan on burning candles during Earth Hour, make sure you use 100% beeswax candles which are gentler on our planet - smoke free, non-toxic and non-allergenic. They are also made of natural products, not petroleum-based materials, so they are effectively carbon neutral (the carbon dioxide they emit has already been taken from the atmosphere to produce the wax). If you're using candles, though, make sure you take care."

Beeswax Creations supplied heaps of beeswax candles for Earth Hour 2009 including the Holiday Inn chain of hotels in the Northern Territory. We are certainly gearing up for Earth Hour 2010.
