    The start of a beautiful friendship...

    Welcome to today’s Earth Hour Online Supporter of the Day post. Today we’d like the highlight not just one person but a group of people who have not only spread the Earth Hour message – they’ve brought a whole country on board to participate!

    We were first contacted by Lamia Ben a few weeks ago via our Twittter account - she wanted to know what she could do to help Casablanca celebrate Earth Hour. Apparently her friends and her had been participating for years but finally thought to make it official.

    Since thing Lamia and her friends have created a Facebook Group, a web page, Facebook event and Twitter accounts to support Earth Hour in Casablanca and Morocco as a whole, while also making connections with companies in Morocco who will support Earth Hour and ensuring that icons in the county turn out their lights on the night!

    It's an amazing effort, but also indicative of how the Earth Hour campaign is run - Earth Hour is an open source project, one in which we are completely reliant on all of you to make it as amazing as possible. We posted a list of countries awhile back that were yet to sign on officially for Earth Hour, just like Morocco was before the Lamia and her friends stepped in. Please check the list and if you can help make Earth Hour officially happen in any of those countries, please contact us on Contact@EarthHour.org. It's actually relatively easy to fufill the criteria, and every little bit helps.

    There are screen shots below of the Moroccan Team’s work, and you can also follow the links in the post above to see it all first hand. Want to be our next Online Supporter of the Day? Send your name, details and why you deserve it to supporter@EarthHour.org and feel free to comment below - what have you done to spread the Earth Hour message?
