This month: Earth Hour - March 2009
Join people from around the world for Earth Hour and switch off non-essential lights and appliances for one hour between 20:00hrs to 21:00hrs on this coming Saturday, 28th March 2009 to show how people can make an environmental difference in what is the largest voluntary 'power down' in history.
Dubai and 25 cities in 14 time zones around the world have confirmed their Earth Hour participation with Dubai residents and all members of our international team actively encouraged to make the hour electricity-free.
Action includes turning off mobile phone chargers when not in use, completely switching off all home appliances such as TV and CD players rather than leaving it on standby, extinguishing unused lights and shutting down office and home computers.
The best way to ensure you participate is that you mark it in your calendar. Just do it now. Open Windows, Outlook, Google, MSN, Yahoo or any other Online Calendar that you use. Mark it. Set a reminder.
If you use calendars or reminders in your mobile, set it up now. This is the smallest deed you can do to save energy and make a difference. Feel free to trackback, tweet, retweet, share. Just spread the word. Thanks.
