SYDNEY Opera House fell into darkness tonight as millions of lights were switched off across Australia, kicking off a global energy-saving marathon.

Homes and businesses killed their lights at 8.30pm (AEDT) for Earth Hour in an effort to lower the planet's carbon footprint and raise awareness of the environment.

In Sydney, harbour ferry horns blared to signal the rolling event, which began in New Zealand and will wrap up 25 hours later in Apia, Samoa, at 6.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.

Earth Hour executive director Andy Ridley said: "I'm so amazed that people take part on the scale that they do and enjoy it, because that's what it's about.
