Time : 8.30pm - 9.30pm
Venue : World
More than 80 countries signed up for EARTH HOUR on this day and hour in which HOMES, OFFICE TOWERS and LANDMARKS will turn off their lights.. This is to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions...
Earth Hour is an International Event organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).. It started on 2007 at Sydney and popularized in 2008. This year 2009, more countries participate and make it BIG... Malaysia is the 1st year to participate and I do hope is more to come...
In Malaysia, our popular landmark which is Petronas Twin Tower and KL Tower being turned off the lights to mark EARTH HOUR in downtown Kuala Lumpur...
So did I participate in this event? Technically, I am... because I'm not at home so the light is off.. Practically, I'm not.. because I'm not.. Because I at concert.. too bad.. Last year (2008), I did hear from radio about this event and I forgot to participate myself.. This year I'm missed it also.. Hopefully next year I can experience it myself...
Anyway, the main purpose for this event is to create awareness.. Meaning we as a human got responsibility towards this GLOBE.. Its already very suffer, please dont torture it some more.. Protect our environment... There is many things we can do.. such as dont throw rubbish everywhere... etc etc...
