~~ A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PLANET AS ONE~~




While this movement was created to become more aware of  Earth's need for the  climate change initiative,  it also represents world unity for the good of all living things on the planet. While many things are beyond our control as the universe is going through the greatest changes in our life time, I look at this as time for all humanity to unite and focus on what is important in our life. Not oil, money, land which we will never really own , but barrow. (you can't take it with you in the afterlife, in fact anything you can see, you will not take with you.). ~~ We engage in wars on matters that really do not help our progression of our awareness and enlightenment for our purpose in this lifetime.

Having said that, this is a wonderful event and I encourage all of you to participate.



The following comes from:

"Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbor Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

In March 2011, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4400 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour the world’s largest global climate change initiative. 


Earth Hour 2012 takes place on Saturday 31 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet. 

Earth Hour has done a lot to raise awareness of climate change issues. But there’s more to it than switching off lights for one hour once a year. It’s all about giving people a voice on the future of our planet and working together to create a sustainable low carbon future for our planet. 

With participation levels now exceeding all expectations, and with more cities and towns signing up every day to be a part of this historic event, the success of Earth Hour 2012 is limited only by the will of the global community to want a say in the future of their planet. 

The challenge of Earth Hour is to rethink how we live our lives in the next hour, the next day, and the day after that.
It's always darkest before the dawn. Let's make this hour the dawn of a new greener age."

Love and light to you

  3. I paticipated this at my time in Finland; I also turned the computer down and I am going to continue it now every evening because of my illness I must be much in my bed and I had one lamp in kitchen and one in my bedroom but not anymore because I don't need lamp to watch TV so I turn it down. So Finland is in your movement. Leiah
