Earth Hour 2009: Jom tutup lampu! :)

jane_doe123

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homesand businesses turning their lights off for one whole hour. Only a yearlater and this event had become a global sustainability movement withup to 100 million people across 35 countries participating. Globallandmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome抯Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood indarkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by thehour.

In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, we are asking peopleacross the world to turn off their lights for one hour atleast and join together in creatingthe vital conversation about the future of our precious planet. EarthHour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make adifference.

                                        On March 28 you can VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour.
                                        Or you can vote global warming by leaving your lights on.
                                        Theresults of the election are being presented at the Global ClimateChange Conference in Copenhagen 2009. We want one billion votes forEarth, to tell world leaders that we have to take action against globalwarming.
                               

It抯 as simple as a flick of the switch.  Join us for Earth Hour 2009.

Lights Off For Earth Hour
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Hsbc Brunei will join millions of businesses and homes worldwide today in switching off the lights for Earth Hour. Earth Hour is an annual campaign led by the WWF that calls for worldwide action on climate change.

This year, every light switched off between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Saturday March 28 will count as a vote for action. The results of this vote will be presented by WWF at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen later this year, according to a press release from HSBC.
In total, selected HSBC facilities in more than 40 countries or territories will be turning off their lights for Earth Hour. In Brunei, all non-essential lights will also be switched off at the main HSBC branch in the capital.

In addition to its Climate Partnership, which aims to encourage individuals, businesses and governments worldwide to act on climate change, HSBC has committed to spending US$90 million over five years to make sure that all its buildings use as few of the earth's resources as possible.
Meanwhile, Sheraton Utama Hotel yesterday announced on KristalFM that they would also be taking part in Earth Hour.

Sheraton Hotel will mark the event by turning off its lights and taking other energy-saving measures for one full hour, underscoring the Starwood Hotels and Resorts' commitment to environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, Sheraton is launching an Environmental and Energy Saving Week starting this Monday to create awareness on climate change, including arrangements for candlelight dinners.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

The energy saved by turning off the lights for an hour "won't make an enormous difference." So, if it won't cut carbon emissions, why bother then with Earth Hour, or Earth Day or Earth Live, last year's daylong concert for the environment?Because climate change is essentially a political problem, and the language of politics is symbolism. Just because an act is symbolic doesn't mean it empty. The only way to truly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to take the pressure off global warming, is an international regime that puts a cap and a price on climate pollution. And the only way that will happen is if politicians around the world become convinced that climate change is an issue that matters to people, one that will make them change the way they live, buy and vote.Unlike most of the issues that we grapple with, climate change is global. The pressure is on us to do the right thing." If shutting off the lights for an hour on a Saturday night makes that political support, well, visible, then Earth Hour will have been worth it.

Lights off Brunei!
By M K Anwar

Brunei will be "switching off" this Saturday night in support of the Earth Hour 2009 campaign.

The Department of Electrical Services is calling on the public to take the opportunity to be part of this global campaign.

Initiated by the World Wide Life Fund for Nature (WWF), this collective participation from people all over the world to save energy for one hour will start from 8.30pm local time tomorrow.

In a press statement yesterday, the Department of Electrical Services said that Brunei's energy sources are non-renewable and are highly carbon-based. Towards ensuring that the future generation's needs are not compromised, it is crucial that smart steps are taken to conserve energy.

Energy saving and conservation were implemented in Brunei nationwide last year through the eSaving (electricity-saving) programme. This year, it will again be implemented in conjunction with the country's Energy Day on May 24.

Both HSBC and Sheraton Hotel have already joined the Earth Hour bandwagon in doing their part to increase awareness on climate change.

Sheraton Hotel has already launched their energy saving week and associates of the hotel have been invited to sign a commitment to pledge in assisting the hotel in achieving its target of five per cent reduction in energy consumption this year.

They have also called Noor Dina Zharina Yahya, Special Duties Officer from the Energy Division, to provide tips on saving energy and its importance. Throughout the week, the hotel will also be organising various activities for its associates to create more awareness on climate change and will also have a mini-exhibition at the hotel lobby.

This Saturday, the hotel during the Earth Hour will turn off exterior lighting, dim or turn off non-essential interior lighting and use candlelight in appropriate public areas.

They are also inviting the public to have candlelight dinner with loved ones at the Tasek Brasserie, Deals Restaurant and Pizza Connection in support of this worldwide event.

The United Nations (UN), meanwhile, will also be observing Earth Hour this Saturday as part of its efforts to mobilise global support for a new agreement on climate change expected to be put forward in December in Copenhagen.

Earth Hour was launched two years ago and this year's combined efforts bring in more than 1,000 cities with close to one billion people taking part.

Many cities have come up with different ways to celebrate the global event. Some television networks during Earth Hour will also be off the air.

So far Amman, Bangkok, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Manila, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rome, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Suva and Warsaw have committed themselves to the cause.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called Earth Hour as a way for the citizens of the world to send a clear message that they want action on climate change.

The DES said that energy saving efforts should be made on an ongoing basis and should not be done so exclusively in a short-term campaign. Locals interested in the Department's energy saving drive can get more information at www.energy.gov.bn.
