Earth Hour 2009, Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang

As we said in an earlier post, Feedmelah.com was supporting this year’s Earth Hour 2009. Well that’s what we did.

We made our way to Starhill Gallery on Jalan Bukit Bintang for one of the many countdowns, this one organized by YTL Corporation BHD.

They arranged some short presentations, performances and generally an information session to inform the public that the reason behind Earth Hour was not to save electricity for 1 hour, but to collect support for climate change initiatives…

After the lights dimmed out, me and Sue Ann took a quick walk outside to see what the rest of the businesses, shopping malls and government building were doing in support of Earth Hour…

It was still pretty bright on Jalan Bukit Bintang, although some of the shops in the Pavilion did dim their lights.

I thought it’d be darker, because according to these pictures from The Star, it looked a lot more impactful than it felt on the ground.

Well at least there was support for the event and hopefully people are starting to change their mindset on global warming and our environment.
