Earth Hour supporters left in the dark TOM ARUP , Sydney Morning Herald March 25, 2010 A THINK tank founded and chaired by the Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has launched a campaign to promote an anti-Earth Hour event – urging people to turn their lights on.
During Human Achievement Hour on Saturday, households will be asked to go about their daily business and turn on the lights for an hour to recognise ”the incredible accomplishments of the human race”.
It will be held at the same time as WWF’s Earth Hour, for which people are urged to turn their lights off to promote efforts to mitigate global warming.
Human Achievement Hour was founded last year by the US free market think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute as a reaction to Earth Hour.
In Australia the Conservative Leadership Foundation, founded and chaired by Senator Bernardi, is promoting the event on its website and on Facebook…..The foundation’s campaign includes posters and brochures; one poster proclaims: ”Don’t be stuck in the dark with the Communists. Turn your lights on!”
