Earth Hour 2010 is just few hours from now and the whole world is ready to celebrate the third year of an attempt to save our planet Earth. It is a way by which can show our support of action on climate change for a better and secured future ahead.
Several sources including the official website of the Earth Hour confirm that the movement started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million residents and commercial buildings switched off their lights for an hour to stand against the global climate change that is one of the main reasons of several natural calamities since last decade.
This year too, Earth Hour 2010 is ready to commence and it is going to happen tonight on 27th March 2010 from 8:30PM to 9:30PM in local time zones all over the world. It is a global call for every individual, every community, and every country out there to make their contribution in support of the fight against global climate change. Earth Hour is a movement to alert everyone alive for a safer, healthier and more secured and sustainable low carbon future.
Earth Hour is organized by WWF. It has been supported by millions of people in more than 100 countries across the globe and this year the movement needs more expansion. The latest studies suggest that the world is left with just 5 years to initiate a low carbon industrial revolution before it gets impossible to control the climatic revolution.
So far, various iconic places have come forward to support Earth Hour such as the Eiffel Tower, Paris, Sydney’s Opera House, the Great Pyramids of Gaza and New York’s Empire State Building. This year Colorado has become an official Earth Hour state as a commitment from Governor Bill Ritter, Jr. to darken in the state capitol building and governor’s residence in Denver. INVESCO Field at Mile High will be in dark too.
Remember, it’s now or never! And if it is done now, the benefits will be forever. We are switching off tonight, are you?
