Tomorrow at 8:30pm sharp, you will see lights going off in
many places of Singapore. Many Singapore government
organisations, private institutions, big, medium and small
enterprises are participating in the Earth Hour, which will
take place at 8:30pm (local time of respective nations) on
28 Mar 2009.
These places include all the CDCs, Uni, Poly, some Schools,
Hotels, and local landmarks and attractions such as the
Merlion, the Singapore Flyer, Suntec City Mall etc.
Across the globe, lights will also go out on some of the most
recognised landmarks on the planet, including Christ the
Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Table Mountain in Cape Town,
Sydney Opera House, CN Tower in Toronto, Millennium
Stadium in Cardiff and the worldís tallest constructed building
Taipei 101.
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world's
first global election, between Earth and global warming. For
the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race
and background have the opportunity to use their light switch
as their vote - Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or
leaving them on is a vote for global warming.
The goal is to have 1 billion people switching off their lights as
part of a global vote. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for
every individual, every business, and every community to take
control over the future of our planet.
We encourage you to participate in this voting. Your light switch
is your vote. Switch it off at 8:30pm for an hour on Saturday,
28 Mar 2009. Turning your lights off for an hour is a great start.
There are also many other things you can do to make Earth Hour
2009 a success. Visit the website at www.earthhour.org. Our Earth
needs your Vote.
