Earth Hour 2010
What is Earth Hour?
When is it again?
This year Earth Hour is on the 27th March, 2010.
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.
- 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.
How is this helping?
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
Thus, in conjunction with Earth Hour 2010...

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

Charades
5th March 2010
We've finally had our 1st general meeting of year 2010. "Woohoo!!"
The meeting kick started with a simple introduction by the club prez and an ice breaking session. For the ice breaking game, members are suppose to send a message across by using only body movements from one person to another starting from the back, all the way to the front. At the end, the last person is suppose to figure out the message.
Most people would think that the game are just for fun but that's when they are wrong. The game we played on that day (charades) actually carried a hidden meaning. When one member pass the message to another member, it requires everyone to participate whole heartedly in order to get the message across. It's exactly how the club works! In order to spread awareness regarding the environment we have to work together as a whole in order to get the message across to the public. If we can't deliver the message among ourselves, then there's very little expectation for the public to actually understand and accept our campaign.
Everyone was committed, fun and spontaneous at the same time. As the pioneer committee member of our 1 year old club, it was a great sight to see on that day. New faces, new enthusiasm, new hope for the club.

Hello There
We're back in business after a long hiatus with exams and what not.
I've been seeing many new faces around college lately. I sense lots of potential "green" member but none has enquired. I'm guessing you guys are still new and just need someone to point the way! =)
Our notice board are located at KPD Block E and KPD Block D Lab Area. For E, it's at the left side of the wall as you enter the building whereas D notice board is at the 3rd floor (Chem/Bio) lab area. If you still can't find them, just ask anyone wearing the "You Don't Have To Wear Green" t-shirt and I'm sure they're kind enough to show you the way. If not, you can always check back here to know when's the upcoming meeting time/venue and activities.
We would love to extend our warm welcome to the latest intake HA04 to be part of our big family tree. Join us and have fun saving our environment.

Please meet outside the lab by 12.30pm.
