Earth Hour 2009 - What will you be doing??

Just doing my part in promoting EARTH HOUR 2009. I'm proud to see sooooo many adverts in astro, promoting Earth Hour 2009. Last year, I didn't even hear a single blip abt this... my neighbours must think I didn't pay my electricity bill... It was the ONLY house yg bergelap during Earth hour 2008....

For those of you who needs to be convinced abt this, watch "The 11th hour" and "An Inconvenient Truth"..

Excerpt from http://www.earthhour.org/
At 8:30pm on Saturday 28 March, people from all corners of the world will turn off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour - and cast their vote for action on climate change. Anybody can participate and join together with millions of people across the globe celebrating Earth Hour. Earth Hour is about taking simple steps everyday that collectively reduce carbon emissions – from businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty to households turning off appliances rather than leaving them on standby.

Here are 10 different ways to spend Earth Hour and reduce your carbon footprint:

1. Attend a local Earth Hour event or organise your own by throwing an Earth Hour street party with your neighbours

2. Gather family & friends for a night picnic in your local park and look at the stars

3. Enjoy a family dinner by candlelight

4. Organise a treasure hunt in the dark

5. Take the dog for a night walk

6. Have a candle-lit bath

7. Sit in the dark and share stories

8. Organise a family night playing board games

9. Share a romantic night in with your loved one

10. Upload your ‘on the night’ photos and videos to flickr and YouTube respectively

Make Earth Hour work for you. Families with young children should feel free to turn their lights off earlier than 8:30pm and for those having too much fun in the dark during the hour, don’t feel you have to limit yourself to one hour and switch back on at 9:30pm. To find out more about Earth Hour, visit the official website www.earthhour.org, sign up and join millions of people in more than 1,400 cities and towns in 80 countries throughout the world by turning off your lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday 28 March.
