Earth Hour



Greetings to all of you,

Tomorrow, 8.30pm, 28th March 2009 is going to be a meaningful moment. There will be more than 1000 cities around the world turning-off their lights for one hour together to stand up against climate change.

Hope fellow sisters, brothers and friends of Malaysia will bring together all friends and your families to participate in Earth Hour 2009.

Join us for Earth Hour 2009, turn off your lights at 8.30pm Saturday 28 March and sign-up here http://www.earthhour.org/signup at earthhour.org to show your support.

Thank you very much :)


What its all about Earth Hour ?

It's as simple as a flick of the switch.
What began as a campaign to get Sydneysiders to turn their lights off, has grown to become one of the world's biggest climate change initiatives. In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, people around the world will turn their lights off for one hour - Earth Hour. We're aiming to reach one billion people, more than 1000 cities, all joining together in a global effort to show that its possible to take action on global warming.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney , Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco , Rome 's Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square , all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to The Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world will turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet.

Over 64 countries and territories are participating in Earth Hour 2009.. This number grows every day as people realise how such a simple act, can have such a profound result in affecting change.

Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.


各位朋友们,

明天2009年3月28日晚上8.30,全球各大城市将在同一时间来一个大型的关灯一小时活动。这是一项对地球暖化关注的醒觉运动。

希望各位马来西亚的朋友们能带动朋友及家人们一起来参与 "地球一小时" 活动。

你只需在2009年3月28日晚上8:30关掉电灯,并在earthhour.org 里注册,签下你的承诺以表支持。

感恩 :)


"地球一小时" 活动其实就像开灯关灯一样容易。

该活动起初只是一项号召悉尼居民关灯的活动,逐渐发展壮大成为全球最大的应对气候变化行动之一。2009年3月28日晚上8:30,全球各地的人们将为 "地球一小时" 而熄灯。 我们希望能有超过1000个城市10亿人参加这一活动中来,用全球性的努力一起来应对气候变暖。

"地球一小时" 这一活动率先于2007年在澳大利亚展开,当时大约有220万悉尼家庭和企业熄灯一小时。然而仅仅一年以后, "地球一小时" 已成为一项全球性并持续发展的活动,超过35个国家多达500万人参与其中。全球各大城市的地标性建筑,如旧金山的金门大桥,罗马斗兽场及时代广场上的可口可乐广告牌等都为此而伫立于黑暗之中,各城市居民也表达了对刻不容缓的环保事业的热忱希望。


2009年的 "地球一小时" 是一项全球性的行动,它呼吁每个人,每个企业和社区都积极采取措施,投身其中,承担应尽职责,为创建一个可持续发展的明天而行动起来。届时,全球各地从欧洲到美洲的地标性建筑都将伫立于黑暗之中。而世界各国人民将通过关灯这一方式,携手为创造地球更美好的明天而努力。

超过64个国家和地区已经参与到了2009年 "地球一小时" 活动中来。而随着越来越多的民众意识到,一个小小举动可以对最终结果有着巨大的影响时,参与人数也在不断增加。

"地球一小时" 象征着希望,也代表着行动。每个人都能让一切从此改变。
