Annette Brooke took time out from her parliamentary work on Wednesday 11 March to support WWF's Earth Hour by turning off a giant light switch.
Commenting Annette said 'I was delighted to be involved in WWFs switch off. If this event can draw attention to the need for action on climate change then it will have been a massive success. Earth Hour highlights how our small improvements can make a large difference.'
Earth Hour is a huge global switch off for one hour on the 28th March to draw attention to the urgent need for action on climate change at the UN conference in Copenhagen this year. WWF's Earth Hour aims to inspire a billion people in 1,000 cities to show global support for action on climate change. So far more than 1000 cities in 84 countries have signed up including London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast in the UK.
Many iconic landmarks will be switching off their lights such as Nelson's Column in London, the Forth Bridge in Edinburgh, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Table Mountain in Cape Town, Sydney Opera House and Paris' Eiffel Tower. Former Spice Girl Mel C, Cate Blanchett and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have all lent their voices to Earth Hour's global call for action on climate change.
