  • Only you can prevent forest fires.

  • Im so glad for them and it worked. It caught my attention.. and I have been doing Earth Hour each and every year since it launched and I have never missed a year, and I go beyond the hour Im always turning off lights and appliances that people waste in my work place and my home it is rather annoying I tell them off and remind them everyday of Earth Hour and Global Warming...People on our earth can make a difference some just need to wake up and realize that..

  • I am happy to sit here in the dark browsing the internet. :-)

  • This video sucks

  • @TacticalWeaponsLIVE what the fuck is wrong with you mother fucker >:(

  • I dont get all you haters of earth hour and everyone who bitch on people is concerned about climate change. You laugh and hate people who are concerned about somthing that allows them to live? If my life depended on somthing I would seriously care for it and even do everything for it possible if it allows me to live, even if it may be a false alarm. 1 hours means alot, you people are just unaware of your use of consumption trough daily life.

  • @neckhead1023 The problem with earth hour is that it leads people to believe that they can make a significant difference by just turning off the lights for an hour once a year, which is severely deluded. By allowing people to make themselves feel better about being power hogs, it just encourages them to continue using power blindly with no awareness that it actually takes a serious commitment to make a real difference, not just this participating in this earth hour bullshit.

  • that little girl is cute

  • Wow one hour. thats gonna make a difference *pff*

  • @KillasaurusArcade01 If thats how you think, why does anybody on this earth try. Why do people fight, if you say one hour won't make a difference. Then we shouldn't think at all..

  • @zXxSinDitxXz im not saying its not gonna make a diffference i mean turning off lights will, but for one hour? i mean at least try a day or something 1 hour wont do anything with all the polution and crap 1 hour wont do anything it might reduce polution but by how much??? think about its like losing your power for an hour

  • @KillasaurusArcade01 well, shall we just say that it's a start?

  • its really nice to see a city making a difference and instead of finding flaws with these ideas to stop global warming we should encourage them. thanks sydney for making this global statement!!

  • At least its a start....Makes me proud to be an Aussie.

  • that 0:28 song name?

  • blood diamond OST really makes the trailer better

  • they campaign soo much just for a 1 hour event

  • hahaha the americans always have to mention mcdonalds

  • 100% from me and my family !!!

  • This movie is spectaculous.

  • this vid makes me want to hurt things....sorta...

  • remember we invented this gimmick. just like popcorn, it actually doesn't make a difference, but the un uses it for propaganda.

  • Earth Hour does not help the environment in any way.

  • It most certainly does not. Earth Hour is purely a symbolic event, it doesn't directly help the environment one bit, and indirectly it isn't doing much either, as it does not send the correct message about climate change. It instead allows people to turn off their lights for one hour, rather than encouraging people to gradually use less energy over time.

  • dude think about it, 50 million people turned off all there electornics, you no how much power that saves?

  • Savings that are only apparent in their energy bills, there isn't even a dent in the amount of pollution that is created for that hour.

  • 50million people pretty much dents it

  • Let me ask you, what causes the pollution? Powerplants, of course. Yes there are cows and all that but what can we do about them? Anyways, would you think that powerplants would shut off for a measly hour to participate in a symbolic event? You don't know what you're talking about, believe me, Earth Hour doesn't affect pollution output at all. In fact, it may actually increase energy usage for some. Do your research.

  • @ghoststop333 what research???????? increase more usage for some ??????????????? fool many more countries are going to participate in this each year.. so suck my dick bitch, and do your research llllloooollll

  • @TomelisSnowman They see me trollin'...

  • @iandwemakevideos your so right i mean at least eveyones making an effort and it'll encourage people to turn their lights off more often!!

  • This movie shows about Earth Hour 2007, a symbolic event created by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). It is an interesting fact that we are very wasteful without knowing it. If you watch these kind of expressional movies, it feels like at one point you are cornered. This movie is spectaculous.

  • this video is 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000x nice

  • szeretnék lovat szopni!!

  • Mi tart vissza?

  • "The world said yes to climate action, now governments must follow," the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said a day after hundreds of millions of people worldwide followed its call to turn off lights for a full hour.

    This assclown overseas do more to destroy the Earth than anyone. My Gov't does not need to follow these liberal morons as we do more than anyone.

    The eco-assholes need to get a life and the WWF needs to give that acronym back to wrestling.

    I turned every appliance on in my house

  • Hey shut the fuck up assclown or we will give you another Hiroshima. Only good things that have ever come from Japan is sushi, samurai warrior, Gigantor, Ultraman, speed racer, sushi, and Loudness. Lets talk about War mongers, remember a little deal called Pearl Harbor? Who is the warmongers jap? Yeah if we fall flat on our ass thats ok because you will get there before us retard.

  • HA? i'm from Japan? wow your a retarded one aren't ya? Another Hiroshima? May i Ask can America actually do it again? Your neuk's dont mean shit, coz you can't actually launch one seing the UN is always breathing down your necks dickheads!!! Oh wait on the second thought do it again, pick a random country and launch one, oh wait you can't can ya? your just a fat man full of lard in you'r house in front of you'r computer that has no influence over anything except you'r porn collection asshole!

  • Earth hour in New Zealand was ove ages ago an I agree there was ony a little dimming here in Auckland. Most of it went dark but there were these houses still with their lights on and then they went off at 9:30 lol

  • New Zealand earth hour was over ages ago, and i have to tell you, it was dissapointing, i live in the capital city of Wellington and the majority of the city remained lit up!

  • 1 more hour, Costa Mesa, California =)

  • They should have thought of this years ago and done something about it then instead os making us have too do this BS and have our kids in schools been feed BS, When I picked up my god daughter from school she told me that I was a bad person and all her freinds did too cos I had my car on in the - 20 weather while waiting for her. The teacher there even came up to me and told me to turn off the car. I told her to go eat a fucking gun, like enough, like the big companys go dark not us!

    Are you serious?

    Have you actually read any of the literature out there about environmental change, as a scientist I have, and it's not something that someone has designed to steal your money or rights, tool.

  • this is a ritual of the new world order led by the luciferian hierarchy of the britain empire. They are creating an apocalypse changing climate (haarp) and creating the financial crisis to impose as only solution their dictatorial luciferian government.

  • so take a stand yourself, and be the one who cares. You are the difference

  • hey thats a really good idea. i am going to send this to all of my friends. i hope more people take action. it would be cool if they turned it into a one hour black-out party

  • im vice president of kuwait chapther earth hour ... earth hour team of kuwait

    for any kuwaitis plz join us .. its 28 of march this year ;)

  • It's a way of marking what we can achieve united. If people stand together they might be capable to fight global warming.

  • why do we need to turn off the lights to stop global warming??

  • turning on lights means using power and power comes from coal power plants which pollute the environment, so turning off our lights mean that there is less coal being used to generate electricity... but there are alternative sources for electricity being used...

    p.s i learned all this in science ftw

  • every thing affect the G.W issue but what we r saying is that .. i simple action CAN make a difference .. turning one light is nothing to u but SOMETHING for the planet .. thats the idea

  • Name of the song in the beginning?

  • LOL Now i kow what happened that day... and i thought some bastard played with power in the city.... I dont live in Sydney if you wonder XD

  • Dude I'm in Pakistan & loadshedding is about 4 hours. So that means Pakistan's an earth savior? xD

  • Global warming is really getting on me and affecting my health.......

  • doing earth hour right NOW, though im on a computer with a plug, my lights are off and most of my tv's arent on.

  • For this to become truly effective, to become part of "pop" culture. We need to start doing this on a monthly basis or at least several times a year. It is a feel good event as mentioned by an earlier poster. All true revolutions start as a feel good event. This is nothing like sacrificing a virgin though, I think that was a pretty pathetic attempt at an analogy......

  • ......This event itself wont be the saving of the enviro. and resources but a trigger event& reminder of how we need to continue to change our habits for the survival of future generations.

  • i personnaly feel as though that thre should be an earth hour every couple of months.  It may not seem like much but it would greatly help.

  • what is the name of the song?

  • Steve Jablonsky - My Name is Lincoln...

    I believe it was a soundtrack for The Island movie... :)

  • All these "solutions" are just feel-good measures for the feeble minds. "Let's all shut the lights off for an hour and light candles!" Yeah, that will make us feel like we are "making a difference". What a joke.

    This is the same mass mentality that caused human sacrifice in our history when the crops failed, long droughts happened, floods covered the land, or epidemics killed the masses.

    Let's kill a virgin and save the planet.....

  • what is the title of the two music during the 2 minuts intro? do somebody knows?

  • its from the blood diamond soundtrack

    they're called london - Blood Diamond  and Solomon Vandy - Blood diamond...if u like this kind of music...download the whole soundtrack its amazing

  • i hope and wish that our future generations become more and more educated with these problems so we can't prevent our beautiful planet from horrible outcomes. as a planet we should overcome these environmental problems and overcome war and live in peace. sounds impossible but you never know

  • Global Warming is a theary not a factualy proven envent in time so why do you think electrical energy consumption is a direct link to something that has not been proven yet?? ps "problems so we can't prevent our beautiful planet ..."

  • thank you for leading the world in Earth Hour, Sydney!!!!!

  • they should do this more often, i actually enjoyed my earth hour, spend time with the family for an hour isn't so bad.

  • Resting on the environment, did all countries participate in this latest event? As it stands now, current greenhouse gas agreements allow China, India, and Mexico special exemptions for toxic waste, while the rest of the western world must make drastic cuts?? Dirty air is dirty air!!! What a fluke? Most of our jobs are going to the aforementioned countries!! Why, slack environmental standards allow companies to transfer work there at the expense of Canada and USA!!

  • Did you remember summer 2005? Hurricane Katrina! Just because it's cold doesn't mean global warming went away. The ice is STILL melting. Islands are STILL drowning. Our world isn't perfect, with poverty and all... but trying to save and care for our planet, could make it at least a little better. Even if Earth Hour is over or not, we can still contribute.

  • How about the ocean currents,the air fronts,the Ozone layer,you put it all on a wabble thing ? Very smart and documented.

    You ignore the El Ninio and El Ninia .

    Gotta admit to one thing this lights off is exagerated but have you ever heard of SYMBOLIC? Maybe you just don't know the meaning of the word .

    Read,ask and dig up information before you make some statements rycboy

  • ok...you like to just state some of the fact,you are forgeting about the curents that flow in the ocean,the air masses .

    what about the El Ninio and El Ninia effect ?

    if you want facts,sreach more and more,ask questions but don't pretend like you'd know rycboy...better care than ignore .

    even if the light thing is exagerated-i agree..it is SYMBOLIC do you know the meaning of this word ?! just checking

  • Global warming is caused by the wobble in the earths axis of rotation and solar flare activity. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to have their head examined. Why don't all the people on one side of the planet jump up in the air while the people on the other side jump on the ground and maybe we can adjust the wobble back to where it belongs. That makes a whole more lot sense to me. Your theory makes as much sense as blaming human production of methane gas for global warming.

  • You take an extremely complex topic and make it sound like you're the king of it.

    Of course wobble in the axis and solar flare have some effects, but there's no solid proof that increasing greenhouse gases increase warming. Hell, without them this planet would be much much cooler.

    Maybe you should have your head examined too.

  • hey what was the song at the beginning of the video

  • Humans are really interesting.

    They want to stop climate change. Fine but instead of not driving a car, they switch off the light... As if lights are producing green house gases ?!?

    Corporations are of course participating. It is less electricity bill that they need to pay.

    But, yes, emotional gain is huge. People think they did something with this. Its nice to show that we can stick to common idea. However would it be nicer to make more educated way of promoting it ????

  • Why stop here? Let's give up all technology and return to the dark ages, when the average life span was 30 years and most people lived a miserable existence. Just the fact that all of you are communicating via the INTERNET proves that you all use electricity and technology. Are you willing to give it up? I like having heat, food, transportation, medicine, etc.

  • hey what was the song at the beginning of the video? And i done my earth hour today

  • im sorry but i dont believe in global warming i believe the earth is shifting in its spacial(outer space) positioning

  • learn the facts. global warming is happening. if it wasnt, wouldnt our winters and summers be much cooler? just like they were a few years ago?!

  • You say learn the facts and then provide the basis for your argument of global warming as 'its hotter then last year'.

    I don't want to go into to much depth but your a tard. you can't measure GLOBAL warming by how this summer is hotter then it was two years ago, you have to go back decades / centuries to try to see the trend.

  • i guess thats just me though. im not saying your wrong just i dont believe for me there arent alot of scientific facts to prove it

  • People are stupid to think global warming is nothing to worry about.

    You wanna get boiled like an egg? Go ahead!

    People who care, and wanna give earth some respect, join us; the people who have decent brains!

    We are destroying our home! If this continues, EVERYONE WILL DIE! So, just do this ONE thing for ONE hour. It CAN help Earth, and it CAN help us too!

  • I totally and completely agree! Save humanity, save the earth, save yourself! this is important! TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS!

  • Turn out the lights and spank it between 8 and 9 pm ! Your jizz could save the planet !

  • Help this world u.ù

  • i've already done it at 8pm london,uk, hour tonight. i hope this will the a warning and something to think to those who can't leave something out from them to help. recycle ppl. we need it , not for us but for those who come after you, your family. think before talking nonsense.

  • whast the name of the song that starts at the begining

  • It's from the movie "Blood Diamond". I think it's called Soloman Vandy.

  • i'm gonna put all my electric stuff on for 247 to save all those poor australians. This ones for u mates :)

  • The you "joutube3" obviously are a loser who loves by themselves, and lives a sad lonely life.

  • Hey one minute, How much CO2 generated all these candles that were lit? If we do something, Do well and completly!.

  • HASHAHAHAHA omg lol

  • humanitys fault because the earth will be doomed!!!!!! =(

  • just melt LOL

  • it be nice to see the ice melt. A warmer world is good. I wont have to travel to the south to get away from the snow

  • if you think about the world the snow repletes the fresh water stocks. a warmer world is bad. if you dont like the snow too bad get over it.

    move south. we need the snow we need the ice.
