Welcome to the Earth Hour global community!

WWF has teamed up with Discovery Channel in the Philippines to produce this catchy TVC, encouraging Filipinos to take part in our ongoing I Will If You Will campaign.

Featuring National Ambassadors Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez, the clip also includes IWIYW pledges from host of other Filipino journalists, actors and TV personalities.

We’re now in the two-week countdown to Rio+20, the UN’s conference on sustainable development in Brazil.

It’s 20 years since the landmark 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, the first time world leaders came together to debate the issues of development and the environment on the same platform.

What’s not up for debate is the urgency for action.

The 2012 Living Planet Report has just been released, and it shows that our beautiful and fragile Earth is in need of greater protection. This edition shows that we are using 50 per cent more resources than the Earth can provide, and by 2025, not even two planets will be enough. However, we can all be part of the solution.

There have been some beautiful time lapse videos shared with the world of the lights going off across various landmarks around the globe for Earth Hour 2012. Time lapse photography is a visually captivating way to communicate the collective display of powering down from our usual routine for one hour.
