A crash course in changing the world.
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their
stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had
become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million
people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the,
Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge
in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as
symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour.
Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support
for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change
initiative.
Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a
global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout
the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and
lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe
to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all
walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation
of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. Sign up now and let’s make 2010 the biggest Earth Hour yet!.at http://earth-hour-kenya.blogspot.com/
