Earth Hour 2009 is a global initiative, by the World Wide Fund for Nature, which calls on every individual, business and community to take a stand against Climate Change. To show your support, sign up now at http://www.earthhour.org.za/?refer=5d82dece6f8d41ba1ba48f6323625626 and commit to switching off your lights for one hour on Saturday, March 28th at 8:30pm. Originating in Sydney, Australia in 2007, the Earth Hour initiative proved a worthwhile initiative when it gained the support of 2 million people to switch off their lights for one hour for this extremely worthy cause. Following on from this success, 2008 saw an estimated 50 million people taking part. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
This year, 2009, Earth Hour will see the lights go out on some of the most recognised 
attractions on the planet, including Cape Town’s Table Mountain, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Merlion in Singapore, Sydney Opera House, the iconic 6-star hotel, the Burj al Arab, in Dubai, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the world’s tallest constructed building, the Taipei 101.

Earth Hour 2009 has one major aim: to unite the citizens of the world in the fight against climate change in order to convince governments and world leaders that our planet cannot wait any longer. Time is running out and therefore 2009 is vitally important, if not the most critical year, to take action on climate change.

Take a stand and help decide the future of our planet !!!!
