Earth Hour in Malaysia is slowly gaining momentum. There is a new buzz that is hitting our shores that promises to bring Malaysians and fellow friends from around the world together by turning out their lights for one hour on the 28th of March 2009 between 8.30pm-9.30pm.
Last year, there was about 35 countries around the world which brought together 50 million people to turn off their lights to show support for climate change. Now is this just some sort of gimmick?
Personally i know that’s its not a gimmick! This year, the target is 1 billion people around the world to turn out their lights. If you don’t know yet, the governments of the world will be meeting on the 7th-11th December at Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
There is a strong vibe around the world that the global voice or the masses rather can bring change. From Malaysian political scene to Obama-mania in America, its clear that if we all do what we are supposed to do, collectively it will have its impact.If we can lobby 1/6th of the world’s population to call for strong guidelines, we can make a difference.
Its time for all of us in Malaysia and everyone around the world to take the first step to start our quest to preserve our planet. Earth Hour is the start for the world to come together irrespective of your race,nationality and colour.

I will be blogging from time to time about progress in Malaysia and some landmark announcements!
