REMEMBER EARTH HOUR TOMORROW !!

Friday, March 27, 2009

Some of the most significant problems of humankind can only be fundamentally approached as matters of conscience, 
commitments of the human spirit, and endeavours of whole communities, local and global. --Thomas S. Inui 


Inspiration of the Day:
Starting in New Zealand's remote Chatham Islands, thousands of cities, towns, and landmarks around the world will
 start to go dark for Earth Hour on Saturday evening. Up to a billion people worldwide are expected to participate 
in this global voluntary blackout by switching off their lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time. The 
movement, sponsored by the conservation nonprofit WWF, is designed as a symbolic gesture in support of action
 against global warming. Now in its third year, Earth Hour has been attracting some high-profile advocates.
 United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently pledged his support for Earth Hour, saying it has the 
potential to be "the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change ever attempted." [ more ] 


Be The Change:
Join Earth Hour 2009, even if in symbolic support, by turning off your lights on March 28th, 2009 at 8:30 p.m.,
 local time.
