SYDNEY—It’s Earth Hour time again and there are new activities planned for 2015’s lights out night—a pop-up paddock dinner in the country perhaps, or for the more energetic, an inner city No Lights No Lycra dance party.
Earth Hour 2015 is focused on the impact of global warming on rural communities and food production this year, and the response has been “overwhelming”, say organisers.
“We’ve had to bring in 20 extra volunteers just to deal with the number of people keen to help and wanting Earth Hour materials,” said Anna Rose, national manager of Earth Hour Australia and Australian Geographic Society Conservationist of the Year.
It is a really important issue if we want to be a country that continues to grow healthy, safe fresh food for future generations.
