Vote for ……. Our Earth

A friend working with a global environmental union told me a month ago about Earth Hour. That is when I though that this effort may not create a big impact on the global green house emissions but it will surely create a big impact on minds and lives of people.

Its is a simple effort. Its a click. Its a switch. Its the Earth. A simple click from us can save our dear earth.

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 grew into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009 Earth Hour is going one level up, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

It is very important to understand that each click counts. And what’s more important to understand is that these clicks are important in each day and each hour of our life. Clicks like switching off unnecessary lights, electrical equipments etc.

So, lets get together and start clicking.
