As Canberra darkens between 8pm and 9pm on 29 March for Earth Hour, Fellows Oval will be alight with hundreds of candles making an image of the world.

Students from the on-campus residences are banding together for the great switch-off, in which people around the planet are asked to turn out their electric lights and ponder the link between energy use and global warming.

ANU organisers say the candles will be a literal reminder of the future of the Earth, tracing out the planet’s circumference and continents on the surface of the oval.

Students and staff are invited to help create the candle display, enjoy a barbecue dinner and entertainment from 5pm on Saturday 29 March at Fellows Oval.
