Whether it be attending a screening of An Inconvenient Truth, or dining at a top Brisbane restaurant by candle light, Earth Hour presents opportunities for everyone to get involved. Icons in Queensland that are switching off for Earth Hour include the Conrad International Treasury Casino, the Story Bridge, City Hall, the Victoria Bridge, the William Jolly Bridge, Brisbane Square, and many State Government buildings.
