This document discusses Earth Hour 2012 and its "I Will If You Will" campaign. The campaign aims to encourage ongoing environmental action beyond just the annual Earth Hour event. It works by having individuals and organizations publicly pledge to take environmental actions if certain participation goals are met. For example, a CEO might pledge to bike to work if a certain number of customers switch to paperless billing. The goals are designed to be mutually reinforcing and promote social sharing to expand the impact of sustainability commitments. The campaign capitalizes on Earth Hour's large international reach across social media and 135 countries to facilitate pledges and challenges between corporations, employees, and individuals.
2. EARTH HOUR SO FAR
