EARTH HOUR
Saturday 28 March 2009 8.30pm 20:30 Your Time
VOTE EARTH : YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election,
between Earth and global warming.
For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background
have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights
is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the
world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to
world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against
global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the
people of the world to make their voice heard.
VOTE EARTH
THIS IS THE WORLD'S FIRST GLOBAL ELECTION BETWEEN EARTH AND GLOBAL WARMING.
On March 28 you can VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour.
Or you can vote global warming by leaving your lights on.
The results of the election are being presented at the Global Climate Change Conference
in Copenhagen 2009. We want one billion votes for Earth, to tell world leaders that we
have to take action against global warming.
