Earth Hour: Largest Climate Action Ever

March 23rd, 2009 by Frans Prins Posted in Activism, Blog, Energy & Climate, Environment

This Saturday the largest global climate change action ever will take place. 2,140 cities, towns and municipalities in 82 countries have already committed to VOTE EARTH for Earth Hour 2009, “as part of the worlds first global election between Earth and global warming.”

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – 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.

Let’s see how far we can bring it… 1 billion people joining one action is quite LARGE…

How: switch off your lights for one hour

When: Saturday 28th of March, 8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth. Saturday 28 March 2009

    Earth Hour, when everybody was supposed to turned off their electricity for one hour to help save Mother Earth and us and everything else on it. Most of the houses on my street were dark and quite, but lights in the others were blazing, though they were also quite. I sat in the dark in the terrace. When the moon is bright, I usually set here and watch the yard bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. Earth Hour, we saved megawatts of electricity equivalent to the output of one coal-powered plant, and added a few more years to the life of our planet.

    It’s so nice that a lot of Filipinos joined in the 2010 earth hour celebration. I found a very interesting article and video of the Cebu, Philippines celebration at http://www.markmaranga.com/earth-hour-celebration-in-cebu-philippines/

    I was just searching for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.
