Earth Hour 2009

The world has gone through many many changes in the last few decades. We grew up in those decades. We remember when the air was cleaner, when there were less natural disasters, when it seemed like things were all good.

Well times have changed, the Earth as we used to know it is no more. We are plagued with a failing ozone, rising CO2 omissions and are ultimately paying for the extreme rate of development that the World is going through.

There are more cars on the road than ever before.

There is pollution.

There is more industrial production.

There is more pollution.

People need more ‘things’ in life.

And even more waste.

What Is Earth Hour?

Earth hour was started in Sydney in 2007,  where 2.2 million individuals and businesses switched off their lights in support of the planet Earth. The aim of Earth hour is to get 1 billion votes to present to the 2009 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, where the global warming policies that will replace the Kyoto treaty will ultimately be decided.
