The World Wildlife Fund, who organise Earth Hour, ask households, businesses and organisations around the world to turn their lights out for one hour to raise awareness of climate change.
 
Last year Oxford City Council took part in the event by switching off all non-essential lights and equipment over the weekend of Earth Hour and managed to reduce electricity use by nine per cent across our five main sites, representing a saving of 1,577kwh.
 
Over the weekend of Friday 25 March to Sunday 27 March the City Council will be switching off all non-essential lights and equipment in its offices and encouraging staff to take part at home by switching off their lights for the Earth Hour between 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 26 March.
