Earth Hour is finally happening in Malaysia! It was confirmed today via the Earth Hour websites that Malaysia will take part in this global event which will happen for the 3rd year. If you don’t know what Earth Hour is, it is a campaign that calls for individuals,businesses,governments to come together and to take a stand against climate change by a simple act of turning off your lights for a hour!

Simple yet has a huge impact! The event started in Sydney back in 2007 with 2.2million people taking part and went global this year with 35 countries and 50 million people taking part. Next year the target is 1billion people and 1000 towns around the world participating.

It will happen on the 28th of March 2009 between 8.30pm-9.30pm. In Malaysia hopefully we will have major landmarks and buildings around the country switching off with everyone coming together to take a stand against climate change. You may think that what does 1 hour do to help climate change??
