Don't forget to switch off your lights on Saturday, 28 March, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm for Earth Hour. Supported by Auckland City Council, Earth Hour is a worldwide lights-out initiative run by WWF to make a statement against climate change. This year it is hoped that more than one billion people will take part in over 1000 cities.

Landmarks around Auckland - including the Sky Tower, Auckland War Memorial Museum and Tamaki Drive pohutakawa lighting - will be part of the event.
