Every day we shape our planet's future when we make small life decisions - what we buy, what we eat, how we travel. The future of the planet is in our hands; the future is man-made. And we are all "Futuremakers". If we choose to live sustainably, we can assure a future for all living things. And we can have some fun doing it too!

This site, created by WWF-Australia, is a place where you can share ideas with other Futuremakers so that we can live more sustainably. We hope the tips and stories here will be useful for you. (More about this site)

Earth Hour 2008 launches!

In 2007 Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turned their lights off for Earth Hour and the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many cities around the world are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

At 8pm on the 29 March 2008 millions of people in some of the world’s biggest cities including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tel Aviv and Manila will unite and switch off for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour 2007 was a Sydney event. Earth Hour 2008 is a global movement.

Earth Hour is about individual action and how together we can make a difference. Visit EarthHour.org and add your name to the Earth Hour movement.
