Dear Hotel Guest,

[HOTEL NAME] is committed to participating in Earth Hour at 8.30pm Saturday March 31st 2012, a time when hundreds of millions of people around the world will switch off their lights for one hour in a collective commitment to take action for the planet.

I would like to invite you to join us in taking part in this important and truly global event.

As a hotel guest you have a unique opportunity to become involved by choosing to switch off the non-essential lighting in your rooms for the specified hour.

Hotels are significant icons in towns and cities across Australia, and therefore your support would ensure that Earth Hour is an amazing success this year.

What can you do?

1.  Switch off the lights in your hotel room from 8.30-9.30pm 31st March 2012

2.  Sign up for Earth Hour and help us reach our target of 1 billion people participating worldwide www.earthhour.org.au

3.  Sustain your action to help the planet by committing to longer term change beyond the Hour. The Earth Hour website has lots of tips on what you can do at www.earthhour.org.au

It is the sum of our actions that will create a sustainable future.

We hope you will join us for Earth Hour 2012.

About Earth Hour

Earth Hour is a non-political global campaign lead by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Pioneered in Sydney in 2007 as a stand against climate change, Earth Hour has become a global climate change movement uniting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Last year, 135 countries and more than 5000 cities switched off.

In 2012, Earth Hour will rally, inspire and empower even more people to not only turn off their lights, but to go beyond the hour by committing to ongoing changes for the benefit of the planet.
