Earth Hour 2009 Poster
From melting glaciers to increasingly intense weather patterns, I know that climate change is already impacting life on our planet.
On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm (Phil. time), Me and my whole family will take part in Earth Hour—the world’s largest global climate change event. By simply turning out all non-essential lighting for one hour at our homes, we will join tens of millions of concerned citizens throughout the world in calling for action to save our planet for future generations.
Led by the World Wildlife Fund, more than 50 million people in 370 cities around the world took part in Earth Hour last year. The lights went out at Sydney’s Opera House, Rome’s Coliseum, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. Even the Google homepage went dark for the day.
This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger. Here in the Philippines, cities large and small have said they’ll participate including Calumpit, Bulacan, with more signing up daily. They will join international cities such as Beijing, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rome, and Toronto.
