European Commissioner for the Environment, Janez Potočnik, will write a song and perform it on stage infront of 1000 people, if 1000 people stop using their cars for at least a week.
Transport is one of the biggest sources of pollution in the world. According to the EPA, a typical passenger vehicle emits about 5.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. 1000 cars off the road for a week would cut 980 metric tones of C02 emissions!

New Zealand skateboarder Levi Hawken wants to reduce the trash that ends up on the streets and in the oceans. For his I Will If You Will challenge, Levi will skate through the streets of Auckland and film it, if 500 people pledge to reduce rubbish and plastic use by using reusable drink bottles or coffee cups.
According to safebottles.co.nz, a person uses an average of 168 plastic bottles each year. That means, if 500 people pledge to drink from reusable bottles a year, we will save using 84,000 bottles!
Help prevent plastic bottles from ending up in our landfills and oceans.

For Earth Hour 2012, WWF Russia and various celebrities created I WILL IF YOU WILL challenges, asking citizens to add their voice to a petition to better protect the country’s seas from oil pollution.
In the three weeks surrounding Earth Hour, more than 122,000 signatures were generated and the petition was presented to the Russian State Duma. Today the law to protect Russia’s seas was successfully passed in Parliament!
This is a huge result from WWF Russia and shows that the I WILL IF YOU WILL campaign and Earth Hour can achieve great outcomes for our planet. We hope this inspires people from all over the world to get involved in our movement in 2013 and to Dare the World to Save the Planet.
