60 Minutes Light Out

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 at 3:35 pm | In Events |
In support of the world-wide campaign against Global Warming, we are encouraging everyone to participate in the 60-minute “lights-out” event on March 29, 2008 from 8 to 9PM.  While participation in this activity is entirely voluntary, we encourage everyone to do their share in this and other similar endeavors to save our planet.  Please read the brief article below to further understand the rationalé behind this movement.

On March 29, 2008 the Philippines will join countries around the world as we literally “turn the lights out” for Earth Hour - an event that will fuel awareness on climate change and prove that when the people of the world work together, they can make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Earth  Hour  will  take place throughout the Philippines from 8 to 9 in the evening on Saturday night, 29 March 2008. WWF invites you to participate by shutting  off lights for 60 minutes, organizing your own “lights-out” event or by forwarding this mail to your friends, workmates and family.

Launched  in   Australia  on  the  31st  of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million  people  and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one  hour.  This  massive  collective  effort  reduced  the  city’s  energy consumption  by  10.2%  for  one  hour.  With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge  and  Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings  by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort  of  millions  of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

YOUR  participation will go a long way in spreading the message that we, as individual  droplets  working collectively – can create an impetus far more powerful  than the mightiest of rivers. For more information, log on to the WWF Earth Hour page at: www.earthhour.org.
