“Stop being a pussy and do it.”

That is film director Taika Waititi’s message to Kiwis who are still ‘um-ing and ah-ing’ about whether to participate in Earth Hour or not.

“It’s important, it’s not even a big deal, you may as well do it, it’s not a huge obligation,” he says.

“Some people say, ‘The bloody hippies are trying to stop me using electricity,' they think somebody is trying to take away their right to watch TV.

“Don’t worry too much. You’re still allowed to sneak away and watch Desperate Housewives.”
