Earth Hour is back!



Earth Hour is back for more action today. So, tonight everyone be there, to turn off your lights at 8:30 pm for Earth Hour, a worldwide collective display of dedication to protect the one thing that unites us all - the planet. Here, we get the opportunity to take a simple step that will go an extra mile in making a difference in the world. We will unite more than a billion people across the globe that will come together and turn off their lights for one hour in what is known as the largest grassroots environmental endeavor in history.

Once again we are devoting our support for a noble cause which I believe worth the effort. The contribution of each and every one of us epitomizes the phenomena of additive effects (in the theory of quantitative genetics). The sum of individual contribution in unison can create a difference to realize the significance of Earth Hour. Certainly, Earth Hour 2011 is going to make its usual round again this time. So for those who pre-determined to make a difference, let’s roll it out! It's that time when we turn off our lights for an hour and take a stand against climatic change. This year's Earth Hour will take place at 8.30pm on 26 March, a Saturday (by the way its today). Wherever you are, let’s share our obligation and do your bit for our Planet Earth!
Every year Earth Hour asks individuals, businesses and communities worldwide to show their commitment to the environment. This year’s Earth Hour, we hope you do not ONLY turn off your lights, BUT pledge to do your part in various ways throughout the year. When the lights go back on, we want you to go beyond the hour and think about what you can change in your daily life that will benefit the planet. Even the smallest things will make a huge distinction. Let’s work together to create a better future. Our actions can add up. Earth Hour, go beyond the hour. Take
This meaningful gesture’s aim is to create awareness across the globe about climate change and sustainability issues which was initiated in Sydney, Australia in the year 2007. Since then, there was no turning back and it has grown to be a concerted effort with huge supporters advocating their part which is what now a global sustainable movement. It all began in Sydney, Australia in 2007, with 2.2 million people and 2,000 businesses pledged to turn off their lights for one hour. Now, the substance of the idea was so impactful that actually made its way into everyone’s mind; as such just years later, more than 100 million people from more than 35 countries turned off their lights in one unified pledge and as a reminder to protect the planet against climate change. Even landmarks such as the Harbour Bridge in Australia, the Golden Gate Bridge in USA, and iconic KLCC twin tower in Malaysia were witnessed with momentary darkness for that one hour. Then why can’t we do it?

In the interim, go past the hour to make it a way of life. Think of what you can do after Earth Hour is over. If you have ideas, share it with me here. Let's do our part for the Earth too! It's time to give back to the Earth again! I take the pleasure of saluting my fellow SDarbians for their innovative idea in conjunction of Earth Hour as part of (our famed CSR activities) committed citizen in compliance of with our organization sustainability objective. Kudos folks!! If the entire community can marshal ourselves to dedicate an hour a year for Earth, alongside other means of green effort we can make it a lifestyle and culture.
I believe we are all well aware of the state of the environment and the impact of climate change and global warming. As a smart inhabitant of planet Earth, we are liable to fulfill our responsibilities to the environment and need to proactively engage in sustainable lifestyles. As a matter of fact, all of us are encouraged to opt for Eco-friendly option that truly imply endeavor of going beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on; think about what else you can do to make a difference. As a diligent citizen of this Earth, we need to be forthcoming, transparent and accountable for our own actions. I’m looking forward for the momentous hour and remember to turn off your lights tonight! Lets usher the Saturday Night Fever with a noble raison d'ĂȘtre for a better future for mankind.
