I just want to share this to anyone who hasn't read this. This is something we can be of use to help our place to survive :

It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?

The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour.

Thus 60 Earth Hour was born.

On March 31, 2007, 2.2 million people and 2,100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour.

With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

Created to TAKE A STAND against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a POWERFUL MESSAGE about the need for action on global warming.
So this year, on March 29, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. local time, Earth Hour will commence ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

YOU can be part of it wherever you are. Turn off your electricity and power for an hour. That means your cars, your TVs, your electric fans, your computers, your air conditioners. ANYTHING that requires electricity or extra power of some kind.

That's all you need to do. :-)

Go outside.
Breathe.
Tell stories under the moonlit sky.
Sing out loud.
Have a picnic by candlelight.
Just BE.

You don't have to be in a major city to be part of this.

It would do all of us good if YOU could be part of making Earth Hour 2008 a huge, global success. Tell all your family and friends. Every single light makes a statement and makes a difference. Collectively, we can make a DIFFERENCE.
