“I’m just one person. What can I do about global warming?”

Thanks to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), you can join the movement for change simply by turning off your lights for an hour.

Introducing Earth Hour 2009. Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one whole hour. Only a year later and this event has become a global movement with up to 100 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.

This amazing video really captures the global scale of this event.

Now that WWF Malaysia has brought this event to our shores, you too can make a stand for environmental awareness and reduced energy consumption. On the 28th of March 2009 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm, we encourage you to turn your lights off and stand united against global warming alongside the KL Tower and other major buildings in our country.
As a media partner for this event, Nuffang.com.my will also be having an Earth Hour downtime on March 28th. Our ads will still be fully functional. However, our home page will not be running for one hour.
