EARTH HOUR 2010

Earth Hour is a global event and is held on the last Saturday of March annually. Businesses or households are asked to turn off their lights and other electrical appliances for one hour. This is made to raise awareness all over the world about the alarming climate change.

Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007. From then, lots of countries have been supporting and participating the Earth Hour.

From the Earth Hour 2009 (last year), reports show that the United States topped the Earth Hour participation followed by Philippines, Greece, Australia and etc. Much electricity were saved from the previous happening.


(How about me? Yes, I did join the Earth Hour 2009. My family and I participated the event and turned off our lights as well as our television and other appliances. Somehow, we just enjoyed talking from our porch and looking at our neighbors in the street doing the same thing in their houses. I think it was fun because my family and I had some bonding moments.)

This year, 2010, WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature or World Wildlife Fund) is assuming more countries will participate and will turn off their lights for the Earth Hour on March 27 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time.

(So, what are you waiting for? Join the Earth Hour and spread the news! Me? Definitely, I'm joining! )


Happy lights off!
