VOTE EARTH: Support Earth Hour and Take a Stand against Global Warming

This coming Saturday, do your part and participate in this yearly event by switching off your lights and other electricity equipments for 60 minutes from 8:30 - 9:30PM

Earth Hour is an annual global initiative organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) that encourages households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour in order to raise awareness of climate change. It started in Australia in 2007, and achieved global participation in 2008.

This year, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights. It is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories, including Singapore, have pledged their support to Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
