Earth Hour 2009: Jom padam lampu! :)

jane_doe123

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homesand businesses turning their lights off for one whole hour. Only a yearlater and this event had become a global sustainability movement withup to 100 million people across 35 countries participating. Globallandmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome抯Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood indarkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by thehour.

In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, we are asking peopleacross the world to turn off their lights for one hour atleast and join together in creatingthe vital conversation about the future of our precious planet. EarthHour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make adifference.

                                        On March 28 you can VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour.
                                        Or you can vote global warming by leaving your lights on.
                                        Theresults of the election are being presented at the Global ClimateChange Conference in Copenhagen 2009. We want one billion votes forEarth, to tell world leaders that we have to take action against globalwarming.
                               

It抯 as simple as a flick of the switch.  Join us for Earth Hour 2009.

The energy saved by turning off the lights for an hour "won't make an enormous difference."

So, if it won't cut carbon emissions, why bother then with Earth Hour, or Earth Day or Earth Live, last year's daylong concert for the environment?

Because climate change is essentially a political problem, and the language of politics is symbolism. Just because an act is symbolic doesn't mean it empty.

The only way to truly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to take the pressure off global warming, is an international regime that puts a cap and a price on climate pollution. And the only way that will happen is if politicians around the world become convinced that climate change is an issue that matters to people, one that will make them change the way they live, buy and vote.

Unlike most of the issues that we grapple with, climate change is global. The pressure is on us to do the right thing." If shutting off the lights for an hour on a Saturday night makes that political support, well, visible, then Earth Hour will have been worth it.
