On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, I am taking part in Earth
Hour – a global event in which millions of people will turn out their
lights to make a statement of concern about our planet and climate
change. I want to invite you to join, too!
Sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour got started just two
years ago and is now the largest event of its kind in the world. Last
year, more than 50 million participated and the lights went out at
the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney
Opera House and the Coliseum in Rome, just to name a few.
This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger – already 250 cities in 74
countries have agreed to take part including Las Vegas, Los
Angeles, Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico
City. And right here in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur and several other
cities will be turning out our lights, too.
But Earth Hour isn't just for big cities – anyone can participate. To
get a better sense of the event, check out this video at

Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and free. I hope you will join
me for this amazing event. To sign up, visit

ways you can spread the word about Earth Hour, plus creative
things to do when the lights go out in case you need inspiration!
Let’s show the world Malaysians are united in the fight against
global warming. Please pass this note along to anyone you think
might want to take part. Let's all come together and switch off our
lights on March 28 at 8:30 pm.
With love,
