Santos again joined the renowned Earth Hour initiative, switching off rooftop signs and non-essential lighting in its Adelaide and Brisbane offices last Saturday night.
Earth Hour is a World Wildlife Fund initiative pioneered in Australia, where in 2007 more than 2.2 million people and more than 2,000 businesses in Sydney switched off their lights for one hour to make a stand against climate change.
The event has since grown into the world’s largest community-driven campaign for the planet, with more than 4,000 cities in over 128 countries now taking part.
Individuals, businesses, communities and governments all have a part to play in creating a sustainable future. Earth Hour is an opportunity to show a commitment to take action to reduce environmental impact on the planet.
Earth Hour has done a lot to raise awareness about sustainability, but there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. Many will commit to actions that go beyond the hour.
