The Climate recovery Coalition is calling on the ACT Government and businesses to switch their lights off for one hour on March 31.

The coalition wants support for Earth hour, which aims to have people turn their lights off between 7.30pm and 8.30pm on the day to show their commitment to taking action on climate change.

The coalition is offering free energy assessments for organisations that participate in Earth Hour to help them reduce green house gas emissions.

For more information, contact The Conservation Council on 6247 7808.
