** EARTH HOUR - Saturday 28th at 8.30pm** www.earthhourau.org/

Australian Environment Minister Peter Garrett today confirmed that all of the 128 Australian Government departments and agencies in Australia have registered to participate in Earth Hour this Saturday.

Minister Garrett said the mass action covers more than 1,500 government buildings and more than 3.7 million square metres of floor space.
'The Government is doing its bit this Saturday to support the millions of Australians voting 'Earth' by switching off their lights this Earth Hour,' Mr Garrett said.

'The lights will go out at the Federal Court of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House, Australia's Casey Station in Antarctica and more than 80 Australian embassies and posts around the world.'

Remember - Sign up and be counted. You will help make Earth Hour the largest climate event in history. This will send a powerful message to our world leaders to support a new climate change agreement at the UN Climate Change Conference being held in Copenhagen in December 2009.
