It all started with a question: “How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?” Earth Hour answers this by demonstrating the impact that individual impacts have when they are put together.

On March 31, 2007 2.2million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour. EARTH HOUR. For one hour Sydney’s energy consumption was reduced by 10.2%, which is the equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off of the road for one year.

This year, Earth Hour is being held on March 29^th, from 8pm to 9pm local time. Cities, communities, and businesses around the world have registered to participate in Earth Hour. Participating cities include: Atlanta, Bangkok, Brisbane, Canberra, Chicago, Christchurch, Copenhagen, Dublin, Manila, Melbourne, Montreal, Odense, Ottawa, Perth, Phoenix, San Francisco, Suva, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Vancouver

Explorer Ventures is committed to doing its part to reduce its impact on climate change, and will be participating in Earth Hour. The boats will turn off as many lights as possible, allowing guests to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful night sky on the ocean.
