Here’s one for the weekend guys:
500 people have accepted Levi Hawken’s (of Nek Minnit fame) I Will If You Will challenge to make the switch to reusable plastic bottles and coffee cups to help keep the streets and oceans clean.
Here are some of our favourite outtakes from his completed challenge video.

Here’s a great GIF of the lights in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour switching off for Earth Hour 2013.

For the very first time, Russia’s Kremlin, the residence of the President, and Red Square switched off on March 23 at 8:30PM to celebrate Earth Hour’s largest conservation outcome so far.
Not only did Russia join in the symbolic show of support for Earth Hour through lights off at the Kremlin and Red Square, its citizens showed how they can positively impact the world we live in when WWF-Russia last year secured more than 120,000 signatures for a petition to pass a long-awaited law to protect the country’s seas from oil pollution.
Fuelled by that achievement, WWF’s Earth Hour in Russia then looked at forest protection and has now secured more than 100,000 signatures from Russian citizens to petition for amendments to the current forest legislation for Earth Hour 2013.
