EARTH HOUR 2009 -Take on your share

Hei there, after having had an unusual attack of self-pitty after not passing the very last exam of my studies and now an oral exam of all that investment/finances ahead- I have recovered and pulled myself together. I have found the best reason to write this blog netry after watching a finnish tv commercial for the "Earth hour". Like to me, it has or would really appeal all of you very much by starting of a lá "I'm just one person, what could I possibly do to maintain our planet?!"

It is a global event/campaign and activity against global warming and it is SO EASY to do your part. WWF calls on to all the people in the world to LEAVE YOUR LIGHTS SIWTCHED OFF on the 28. MARCH for only 1 HOUR between 20:30- 21:30 local times. It will have a big effect, symbolically and on the global energy consumoption!!

Earth Hour on WWF:n organisoima maailmanlaajuinen tapahtuma, jonka aikana ihmiset ja yhteisöt ympäri maailmaa sammuttavat valonsa tunnin ajaksi samana päivänä samaan kellonaikaan. Tapahtuma järjestetään lauantaina 28.3.2009 klo 20.30–21.30. Suomessa tapahtuman suojelijana toimii tasavallan presidentti Tarja Halonen.

So far, 1.189 cities and towns across 80 countries are committed, with more coming on board every day. More than 23.000 businesses and organiations are taking part. In Helsinki, the Johannuksen kirkko, Uspenski cathedral and Kallio church (among others) and FORUM will turn of their lights on the 28th!!

“Whether it’s joining your community in a town square to watch the city lights go dark or hosting a lights out party in your own home, I encourage everybody across the world to be a part of this historic occasion. Turn off your lights, celebrate the planet, enjoy the moment and cast your vote for Earth,” said Mr Ridley.

I'd also say that going to bed early or lighting some candles with friends is a really nice alternative.
