Glenda showed support for WWF’s Earth Hour by having a ‘Eureka Moment’. A giant light bulb symbolised the ‘moment’ as MP’s were invited to Portcullis House to sign up to Earth Hour and show they are switched on to climate change.

WWF’s Earth Hour is a global initiative taking place on Saturday 27 March 2010 between 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm. WWF is calling on individuals, businesses, iconic landmarks and local authorities to sign up to switch off their lights for one hour to show they care about people and wildlife threatened by climate change. The initiative has become bigger than ever, surpassing all previous years’ events, with over 1,100 cities and towns across the globe switching off their lights in support of Earth Hour.

UK landmarks pledging to switch off their lights include Piccadilly Circus and the London Eye, which will be dimming its lights for Earth Hour.
 
WWF is campaigning for a strong global response to climate change after the Copenhagen climate summit failed to deliver a sufficiently robust climate deal.  To help create the public mandate here in the UK, and worldwide, for governments to agree a strong deal, WWF is calling on everyone to get involved and take part in Earth Hour.

“Building on the global success of last year’s Earth Hour event, momentum is building across the world once again and WWF is aiming to reach a billion people”, said Glenda.  “By signing up and taking part we can all show support for strong international action to tackle climate change.”
