Did you know that in 2009 and 2010, the Philippines ranked first among 88 countries all over the world in terms of participation level during the Earth Hour events? Apparently, 10 Million Filipinos joined the switch off in 2009. This number reached 15 Million during the next year. Isn’t that amazing? I’m proud to say that I am one of those. This year, I plan to participate again.
Earth Hour 2011 will be on Saturday, March 26, 2011. Everybody is being encouraged to participate to switch off the lights between 8:30 – 9:30 p.m. (Philippine Time). However, this year, the goal is not really to increase the number of participants again but to focus on giving it meaning in our everyday lives. We should all do our share in saving the Earth not just during Earth Hour but every single day, in everything we do.
Those who are interested can also join the Switch Off Ceremony at the SM Mall of Asia at 6:30 p.m. to kick off the event. For more information, visit the Earth Hour Pilipinas website or the Earth Hour main website.
What will you do to help save the Earth?
Great idea will definitely visit there. Which reminds me Earth Day is coming up – April 22th I think it’s 40 years now : D
