Earth Hour - 28th Mar 09

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights.

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world's first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

We switched off the lights on saturday night too. Surprisingly, my little niece didn't scared at all. She still walk here and there, played with us, smile, look here look there...so we successfully swiched off the lights and we were in a dark. Anyway, we can still feel each other and we were so close with each other at that moment. So, not only on 28th Mar, every day we should practice.
