Earth Hour 2009


8:30 - 9:30 pm was Earth Hour in New Zealand - people are encouraged to turn their lights out for an hour to show commitment to fighting climate change and to living more sustainably.  Dunedin celebrated in the Octagon, (also the location of the Robbie Burns statue!) where restaurants turned out their lights and we were entertained by speeches, drums and fire pois. I went along to get a photograph for the blog of the paper boats which children were invited to make and float in the fountain. Pretty!
