A record 134 countries and territories participated in the 2011 Earth Hour event on Saturday 26 March. Conceived in Australia five years ago, the event has become the largest voluntary action to be observed for the environment.
In under four short years the Australian-initiated campaign, Earth Hour, has become the largest campaign in history for the planet. It has grown from one city, one country to over 128 countries and territories in 2010, to reach over a billion people worldwide, becoming the largest voluntary action ever witnessed.
