Flip the Switch for Earth Hour

 

 

The Progressive Automotive X PRIZE places a major focus on affordability, safety, and the environment. It is about developing real, production-capable cars that consumers want to buy, not science projects or concept cars. This progress is needed because today’s oil consumption is unsustainable and because automotive emissions significantly contribute to global warming and climage change.

 

Make a statement of concern about our planet and climate change by participating in Earth Hour on Saturday, March 28, 2009. Individuals, businesses, governments, and communities in over 2,900 cities and towns in 83 countries will switch off their lights at 8:30 PM local time for one hour, wherever they live on the planet earth. In fact, over 829 icons and landmarks around the world – the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing, Big Ben in London, the Empire State Building in New York, the Acropolis in Athens, the Colosseum in Rome, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Sydney Opera House, the Las Vegas Strip, and others – are expected to go dark to show their support.

 

Turn out. Take action.

I'm proud to say that I'm part of 60 EH, I've even convinced my friends to participate. It was a real success, that's one way of showing our concern in our environment. Let's save energy to minimize the usage and for us to live long.

An advertising exec here in Sydney, Todd Sampson, was co-creator of Earth Hour.

This year for earth hour we tokk a picnic down to the Sydney harbour foreshore and watched the lights go out on the HArbour Bridge, the Opera House and the City of Sydney. Awesome!
