Watch Pete Murray Sing For Earth Hour

"The message and the goals of Earth Hour are pretty simple, action, no matter how seemingly small, collectively, can make a difference. Turn off your lights for one hour on March 29 and see what a difference this will make for the planet. Other things you can do in every day life such as using energy efficient light bulbs will really go a long way to turning around the effects of global warming," Pete said.

To support the initiative, Pete Murray will be performing an acoustic set for Earth Hour supporters in Sydney at a private event on the night at the very moment the lights of the CBD go out. The performance will be filmed and available for viewing by the rest of the world via Fairfax website www.smh.com.au from Sunday March 30.

Earth Hour Executive Director, Andy Ridley, said: "It's great to have Pete supporting this event because he has the ears of millions of people and can get this message out there. As Pete says, it's the aggregate of everyone's actions that will start turning this climate change problem around. Pete is a true ambassador for this cause as he genuinely believes in becoming part of the solution".

Pete, who has just returned from recording his latest album 'Summer At Eureka' at his home in the hinterland of Byron Bay, is passionate about the environment and as a result was extremely keen to be involved in the WWF-Australia inspired climate change initiative, Earth Hour.
