EarthHour 2008

WWF is calling for a global event in the fight against global warming, known as EarthHour 2008. On the 29th of March 2008, please switch off your lights between 8pm and 9pm, local time wherever you are

The idea is that by each time zone of the earth simply switching off their lights for a mere 60 minutes, awareness on the need to combat global warming will be spread, but also dramaticly reduce electricity consumption for that day, thus showing how much of an effect it has.

Many cities, corporations and individuals (including myself obviously!) have pledged to support and participate in this event including Sydney, New York, Toronto, Manila, Tel Aviv, Coca-Cola, HSBC, Citibank, and many more!

Im thinking of trying to get Malacca, and maybe even Kuala Lumpur involved once I get home, but obviously my priority is to contact as many people and maybe some organizations I have relations with to spread the word and try and get them involved. Please people! its just a mere 60 minutes, and it dunt cost you any effort! Besides, it could be a great social event! Campfire, Torchlight party, Candlelight social, you name it!

Im gona try n get Astro involved, and maybe ask my mom to push MMU on this as well.

Anyway, please sign up through my EarthHour page (simply so that I can track how many people I have roped in) this is the link to my EarthHour profile: http://www.earthhour.org/user/hUXD

There is also a small promotional video on youtube:
