***LETS PARTICIPATE, AND SEE THE IMPACT OF ONE SIMPLE ACTION - FOR OUR HOME THE EARTH AND FOR OUR CHILDREN, THE FUTURE GENERATION. LET'S CONTINUE TO CONSERVE ENERGY AND SAVE. KINDLY FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CONTACTS.***

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Earth Hour 2009:

1. At 8:30pm on Saturday, March 28, 2009, cities and towns across the world will turn off their lights for one hour – Earth Hour – sending a powerful global
message that it is possible to take action on global warming.

2. Earth Hour 2009 will be the culmination of one billion people around the globe, in more than 1,000 cities from business, government and the
community turning off lights, and sending a message to world leaders in the lead-up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference Copenhagen 2009 that a commitment to actions that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the short and long term benefit of the planet.


3. By encouraging entire cities to perform this simple act, for just one hour, a powerful message is delivered to the world about the urgent need to address climate change, and shows that it is possible for everyone to make a difference.

4. Earth Hour began in one city, in one country in 2007, when more than 2.2 million households and businesses in Sydney turned off their lights for one hour on
Saturday, March 31, 2007.

5. In 2008, Earth Hour reached 370 cities and towns in more than 35 countries across 18 timezones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a
global sustainability movement. An estimated 50 to 100 million people around the world switched off their lights for Earth Hour in 2008, and global landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Rome’s Coliseum, the Coke billboard in Times Square and Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai darkened for one hour.

6. Earth Hour 2009 will be a major call to action for every individual, government and business to take responsibility and play a part in ensuring a sustainable future.
