CBS Supports Earth Hour 2010

Posted on 25 February 2010 by Cebu Bloggers Society

In 2007, 2.2 million residents of Sydney, Australia participated in Earth Hour event by turning off all unnecessary lights and appliances in their household for 60 minutes.  That was the very beginning of this campaign which was pioneered by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature).  It aims to increase awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.  And by 2008, following Sydney’s lead, many cities around the world adopted the event.

And for this year, please mark your calendar!  Earth Hour will take place on March 27, 2010 (8:30PM to 9:30PM).  Cebu Bloggers Society, along with its active members, will help in spreading awareness about this campaign through blogging.

Everyone can show their support.  Check the following guidelines. (From Earth Hour’s Webpage)
