On March 28 various countries from all over the world will participate in this year’s Earth Hour event.

All you have to do to participate is to swith off your lights and other unnecessary piece of electrical appliance at exactly 8:30 pm on that day. Of course you’ll have to keep them turned off for one whole hour.

One hour of lights off may not be enough to bring down energy consumption in the whole world but it would help a lot in creating buzz around the issue of climate change.

The World Wide Fund for Nature aims to get 1 billion participants this year. It will use this number to pressure our world leaders to come up with meaningful policies and action against climate change. The Department of Energy says about 1 million Filipinos were involved in last year’s event. This number should be higher this year.
