Earth Hour 2011 (Save the Earth)

I just received an e-mail from the organizers for Earth Hour for 2011 when I joined their site and made my lantern as a show of support. Here it is.

Hello arlene,

Thanks for making a lantern and showing your support for Earth Hour. Check out your lantern at http://www.earthhour.org/content/lanterns/56028/lantern.jpg. You can save it to your desktop (right-click the image and choose ‘save image as’).

If you haven’t already done so, tell all your friends on Facebook, Twitter and My Space – why not add your lantern to your profile.

PS. If you’re not on a social networking website, how about forwarding this email to at least two friends? To make it easy, we’ve written some text at the bottom of this email. Just press the ‘Forward’ button in your email client, and delete all the text above the message.

And here’s the lantern I made last night. It was fun making it. You’ll get to choose the design and the color.  It’s a show of support for Earth Hour.

I’ve been blogging about this the past two years. It actually started in 2007  in Sydney, Australia and other nations followed in 2008. Earth hour is held every last Saturday of March annually and is organized by World Wide Fund For Nature. The idea is to turn off non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour “to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.”

One hour is just a little sacrifice for all of us. Let us unite and take part on March 26, 2011 at 8:30pm. Be counted.
