Earth Hour - Saturday 31 March 2007, 7:30pm-8:30pm

I am not going to say I have been influenced by “An Inconvenient Truth“, cause I do believe that what was presented in the very very elaborate powerpoint presentation by Mr Al Gore himself, was very very credible. If we can just put aside all the thoughts that he once to get people on his side for the elections, I honestly believe that he is fighting for the greater good here. We are talking about the destruction of our home, the third planet from the sun, Earth.

I am glad that God has placed people like him around. If no one will do anything, then at least it’s good to know there are people who are still willing to try…And that’s encouraging.

Anyway on to Earth Hour.

The WWF Australia has obtained the cooperation of the City of Sydney, the NSW State Government and Fairfax, the publishers of the Sydney Morning Herald to initiate plans for a rather interesting method to raise awareness on global warmin

This coming 31st March, Sydney shall be plunged into darkness for an hour. Lights in landmark buildings and a good number of houses shall be in a blackout. The event of darkness is called “Earth Hour” and shall take place at 7.30 pm (5.30pm Malaysian time).

The point of this campaign is to try and reduce the greenhouse emissions produce in Sydney. But you know what this is not something that is just meant for Australians. Malaysians should also take it up and help control the pollution that goes around in our major cities that is KL, PJ and Subang.

You can check out more on the event at their official site Earth Hour. Or you can also go to WWF to find out more about the campaign.
