Earth Hour

Earth Hour was the first fabulous opportunity for you and your family to do something about climate change.

What is Earth Hour?
It sounds simple, but it is very, very dramatic. At 7.30pm on March 31st 2007, companies, government departments, individuals and families were encouraged to turn off their lights for just one hour. The aim was green house gas emissions savings equivalent of taking 75,000 medium
sized cars off the road for one whole year!

Why?
The facts are alarmingly clear:
* The climate is changing! The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since 1990. In fact 2005 was the hottest year since record keeping
began.
* More than 95% of the Great Barrier Reef will have been destroyed by 2050 if carbon dioxide emissions aren't reduced. (WWF-International)
* One million species worldwide are facing extinction due to climate change.

Introduction and Background
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Environmental management accounting (EMA) incorporates and integrates two of the three building blocks of sustainable development - environment and economics - as they relate to an organisation's internal decision-making. Meeting the needs of the future generation depends on how well economic, social, and environmental objectives of sustainable development are interconnected and balanced during current decision-making processes. EMA provides the economic rationale for organisational involvement in sustainable development. Environmental management accounting serves as a mechanism to identify and measure the full spectrum of environmental costs of current production processes and the economic benefits of pollution prevention or cleaner processes, and to integrate these costs and benefits into day-to-day business decision-making.
