Please Volunteer to Do a Little for our Kids

Please participate in Earth Hour 2010, a worldwide effort to reduce energy consumption, and join millions of concerned citizens throughout the world in calling for action to save our planet for future generations.

Participating is easy, fun and absolutely free by turning off the lights and nonessential electrical appliances in our homes, offices and city between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Saturday 27 March 2010 and sign up here.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour. Year later, Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with involvement of more than 50 million people across 35 countries. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, stood in darkness. In 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour from more than 4000 cities in 88 countries to pledge their support for the planet. Let us make 2010 the biggest Earth Hour!

Involvement in Earth Hour is just one part of our big commitment to energy conservation. Be inspired by it and take steps to reduce our climate footprint all year round.

Please encourage people you know to take part, remember March 27 at 8:30 pm, switch off and show what can be done.
