Perth, Australia, Before Earth Hour

Perth, Australia, glows with activity on March 29, 2008. Australia's fourth most populous city, Perth made headlines in 1962 when it turned on as many lights as possible as a sign of support to astronaut John Glenn as he orbited the Earth aboard the spacecraft Friendship 7.

In March 2008 Perth showed support for scaling back the effects of climate change by turning off its light for Earth Hour.
