Earth Hour 2009



we born and grown up knowing that it is because of our mother earth that we survived through generations and generations. and it seems like it is time for us to do something. it doesn't take much from you. but it does make a difference when people all over the world come together to do something.

Earth Hour is symbolic in nature. but do you know the importance of this event? "vote for Earth with your light switch", is what WWF proposes. what would you vote for? for global warming? or for earth? quoting from Earth Hour website,
"
Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009."

this is more than just a symbolic act, to support Earth Hour. we really need to vote and show our concern, especially to the world leaders (think of heavy pollution resulted from industrialization). Global warming is not a light issue which we can ignore any longer.


what you can do...


  • spread the word among friends and family

  • blog about it

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
