Taika Waititi

Taika's Earth Hour message

Taika Waititi, Film Director

Musings from Taika

"It's not about plunging the city into darkness, you can do that by putting on a blindfold. It's about showing how big a change we can make with the simplest of actions".

"if we can make a huge change with just one finger flicking a switch imagine what we could do with two fingers...a hand... an arm and a leg....four legs....sixteen arms, three heads and a long tail with a huge spiked ball on the end... just imagine what we could do with a creature like that".

"Don't worry too much. Although you're making an ecological statement you are still allowed to sneak away and watch Desperate Housewives".

"It's important for us to realise that the smaller actions do make a difference. During the hour of darkness you'll be able to see the few who didn't make an effort".

"If you see a light still burning somewhere in the darkness, don't be too quick to judge. It might be someone who is too short to reach the lightswitch."
