Hi guys, miss me? Don’t worry, it just another week before my study week start. Study week means a week free of classes and lectures. Oh yeah, it also means that I will be having my final examination a week after that. Put my student life aside, 8.30PM tonight, we will be joining the Earth Hour event.
Earth Hour facts:
- Earth Hour is an international event organised by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund).
- Earth hour was conceived by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights.
- Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.
- Held on the last Saturday of March, it asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change
- Iconic landmarks around the world including the Empire State Building (New York City), Sears Tower (Chicago), Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Bank of America Plaza (Atlanta), Sydney Opera (Sydney, Australia), Wat Arun Buddhist Temple (Bangkok, Thailand) and the Colosseum (Rome, Italy) are joining this event.
- Close to five million Malaysian are expected to switch off their lights during Earth Hour, along with the people at 2100 cities in 83 countries.
- The official website www.earthhour.org/malaysia is reported to have crashed yesterday owing to the more than 60000 visitors it received over the past few days.
P/S: I suddenly thinking off this Viagra picture I saw few months back (picture after the jump). Switch Off? Your Choice!
I definitely will join it to tonight. Do you?
