Brief Explanation

WWF EarthHour still has low awareness in China. So we turned off the lights to where it mattered most. The Digital Earth Hour. We programmed a code that would “Black out” the landing pages of major Chinese websites for an hour. Only the area around the cursor was lit, the message, “Only light up what you need.” This let netizens experience the movement. There’s a link to EarthHour’s website that teaches concrete ways on conserving resources on a daily basis. Results: 50++M PC, tablet, and mobile screens were blacked out. That’s engaging 10% of China’s netizens in an hour.
