March 27, 2010 is Earth Hour. Everyone who is conscientious enough to care about Mother Earth's plight should turn off their power supply for an hour - 8:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. What's an hour turning off electricity for a more sustainable future?Mead Johnson and WWF-Philippines have collaborated to host the Kids' Earth Hour on three areas simultaneously on the said date. The venues will be at:
1. the 3rd level of Trinoma
2. SM Mall Of Asia open grounds
3. Bonifacio Global City open grounds
The thrust of Kids' Earth Hour is to encourage kids to "unplug" their electronic gadgets not only during Earth Hour but on a periodic basis so that they could enjoy the benefits of actually playing outdoors.
A lot of activities are lined up for the kids. Registration is free. You can just bring your kids around 6:00 P.M. and let them have a blast playing "piko"; trampoline; rocky mountain; human parachute and more. During the switch-off hour, a shadow play will be presented and kids will be given glowstick to "light" up.
If you can't drop by the tree venues, there are over 1,000 cities and towns that are participating too. Check your locality. Or! Do your own Earth Hour at home. We will. I have invited guests over for Earth Hour. Candles? Check! Matches? Check! Laptop battery and digicam battery? Check!
We're celebrating Earth Hour too :)

ReplyDeleteHi Te Lena! Was just thinking of you the other day! Wala lang, bigla lang kitang naisip.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, it's good that the Earth Hour is widely publicized there. We were out the whole day and came home late so the lights were all off, in observance.
@ sheng: nag gala na naman kayo?! :) when are you coming back here?
