Earth Hour 2010

What is Earth Hour?

• Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
• During Earth Hour, switching off your light for 1 hour is a vote for Earth, leaving them on is a vote for global warming.
• Earth Hour is a symbolic event designed to engage people from all walks of life in the climate change discussion to send a strong message to our political leaders that we want them to take meaningful action on climate change.
• Last year, Earth Hour was raised to a new level with hundred of millions of people from 88 countries casting their votes for Earth.

When is it again?

This year Earth Hour is on the 27th March, 2010.

8.30pm till 9.30pm.

pitch black = vote Earth

How is this helping?

• This year, WWF-Malaysia is focusing on marine theme.
• Our treasured blue world is facing serious threats from overfishing, destructive fishing, inappropriate development, pollution and climate change.
• Rising CO2 levels and climatic changes greatly impact the marine ecosystem by increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, raising sea-levels and causing coral bleaching and ocean acidification.
• By switching off your lights for an hour shows that you are in support of WWF-Malaysia.
• WWF-Malaysia is committed to working with the government, local communities and the private sector towards sustainable us of marine resources, protecting important and threatened marine habitats and saving endangered species such as marine turtles

"I ♥ ME!"

(I love Mother Earth)

We are in a midst of preparing a large scale event to celebrate Earth Hour 2010 so watch out for us! After our successful campaigning of Earth Hour 2009 at One Utama Shopping Centre, we are confident to make this a bigger HIT than the last.

Remember the "YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR GREEN" t-shirt? We are back with not one, not two but THREE new designs!!!

recycling half the world's paper would free 20 million acres of forest land

every month we throw out enough glass bottles to fill up a skyscraper

there is no limit to the amount of times aluminium can be recycled

People tend to disregard/forget/ignore the recycling bins eventhough it is everywhere around us. So with this idea, I hope everyone can remember the colours of the 3R bins and use it to keep Mother Earth clean. It would be great to have a sea of blue, brown and orange around HELP Academy one day before Earth Hour (which is the day we are distributing the T-shirt). Place your orders now!
