Make a Change & Switch off for Earth Hour

Wow, it's sooo amazing how a year could pass by so fast like this, isn't?!! It's the end of March, & what does that mean? Oh, yeah, it's "Earth Hour" time, baby!! Yeah!!!

Last year, I attended my first Earth Hour Event & I had sooo much fun, & I planned to forever be a part of it. For those of you who don't know what Earth Hour means, it's basically an annual global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund For Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund), where everyone, individuals or organizations, could be part of spreading the message & help raise awareness towards the need to take action against Climate Change & Global Warming.

All we have to do is simply shut down all unnecessary lights, electricity, & other carbon dioxide consuming machines & appliances, for only one hour, starting from 8:30 to 9:30 PM on Saturday March 27. (Wikipedia)

And/or read more about Earth Hour here.

Simple, isn't it?

So what are you waiting for? Turn off your lights, & show support!! Make a stand, make a change!

I can't help but share one of my top favorite MJ songs on this environmental event...

Such a deep song. That man really cared about this world. I wish if all of us cared as much as MJ (& the rest of the people who care about Earth issues), then the world would've been really a better place.

We still could do it. For us, for our children, for the planet.

So let's do it!!!

Join Earth Hour Special Day at The Green Island: Kuwait

Join the rest of the world in a simple way to help reduce some of the harm we’re causing this planet we live in (if you wanna continue on living in it), by simply switching off your lights for just one hour.

All around the world, people are joining in this fight against Climate Change or better known as Global Warming (they're not the same, though). Kuwait is one of 84 countries voting for Earth. Supported by the Voluntary Work Center, & with permission from the WWF, The Kuwait Team for Global Warming is organizing a special Earth Hour* day promoting & raising awareness for this event on Sat March 28, 2009. The event will be held in the Green Island & will start at 4:00-10:00 p.m. People will be learning more about this issue, as well as enjoying a packed up day full of events, & will be witnessing & participating in a global event thus making a stand against global warming & helping save the planet. Earth Hour will be as it always is, from 8:30 to 9:30 that night.

I’ve attended a seminar about the issue held by the team on March 11, 2009, & the even though there were no significant visitors, the spirit of the team was not down at all. They’ve conducted the seminar gracefully & we really had fun. Here are some of the pics I’ve taken:
