All lights out at exactly 8:30pm March 28, 2009 all over the world to observe the EARTH HOUR - a global activity to raise awareness of climate change and global warning.
Launched in Australia in 2007, EARTH HOUR is a global event involving the voluntary shut-off of electricity in homes, offices, public places and commercial establishment for one hour from 8"30 - 9:30pm in all time zones to express support for environmental issues.
Be aware, Philippines had the most number of cities and towns participating in the event with 647 cities and municipalities around the country up for Earth Hour. Ranked a distant 2nd was Greece with 484 cities and towns, followed by Australia with 309, Canada with 273 and the United States with 270.
EARTH HOUR is really a symbolic act we should be practicing energy conservation and environmental consciousness everyday in any way we can, be it water and electricity.
