Earth Hour 2010

Earth Hour 2010

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. A year later, it became the global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.

In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

Today is Saturday, March 27,2010 and specifically the Third Earth Hour. Most of the countries from all over the world are going to participate in this movement conducted by WWF, one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Earth Hour 2010 insists us to switch off the lights today for one hour [from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM] to save energy. We should be in dark for one hour to see a bright future. It is a duty of today's citizen to make the world more healthy and powerful for the well-being of our sons and daughters.

It’s all about giving people a voice on the future of our planet and working together to create a sustainable low carbon future for our planet. So now's the time to take a stand and give world leaders the mandate they need to make the right climate deal.

I'm switching off the lights for Earth Hour 2010. Join the movement too at http://www.earthhour.org
