On Saturday March 29th at 8.30 PM, millions of people across
the world are turning to darkness for a brighter future. They will be switching
off their lights for an hour to show their commitment towards the planet and
towards energy consumption.
The concept was started in 2007 with Sydney
Australia being the first city to observe the Earth Hour. Over 2.2 million
Sydnersiders set the ball rolling for the world to show their commitment
towards energy consumption. The next year saw participation from over 371
cities from over 35 countries, quickly becoming the world's largest grassroot
movement.
Last year the Earth Hour saw phenomenal increase
in support as the world rallied together for one hour in an inspiring display
of what people can accomplish when they put their hearts in the right place.
India's gateway of India was one of the participating landmarks.
This year the change is already underway. In
Uganda over 500000 trees will be planted to create the world's first Earth Hour
Forest in a fight against the 6000 hectares of deforestation.
We call on people like you to come join hands
with us and support this cause. This year with the Earth Hour Blue, you could
also support one of their many inspiring projects.
It’s one turn-off you should embrace and be
proud of.
Let’s indulge in darkness for a brighter future
