Under the Earth Hour initiative people are motivated to switch off their lights and electrical appliances from 8.30 pm to 9:30 pm. Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Save earth is a campaign , in which everyone should participate.

We should make people aware about it. Participate and spread the light. Thanks

Please come forward and act, if we feel the we can save even a bit of our environment. Because it is the time. Try to convince the children also, as they are the future , if they can understand , half the job is done. Take everyone into account , whom we think can contribute. Everyone knows about global warming, pollution, energy, but they do not act. It is the time to act. In offices, it is often seen that the lights of the meeting rooms are ON even after the meeting is over. On roads , when there is RED signal , people do not turn OFF their engines.

Please come forward and join this movement.
