Chief and I were actually having dinner with friends in condo somewhere in Makati and from the 24th floor, we could see dimmed lights in the Makati City landscape. Through dinner, candles lit the room and gave the ambiance more warmth.
Days prior Earth Hour, text messages and email were being exchanged and passed around through our tech gadgets to spread the message of Earth Hour. I got a text message from my friend Earnest Custodio of McCann an hour before Earth Hour.
According to http://www.earthhour.org/ 24 cities participated in Earth Hour at 8pm on that day. Photo from www.earthhour.org
The website further says that Earth Hour had a clear and single message to communities and business to take simple steps for the earth, our bigger home! Earth Hour urges that through collective efforts, everyone can contribute in very simple steps like businesses turning off their lights when their offices are empty and households turning off appliances.
At our greenhome, we now take the plug out of the sockets.
You can sign up at their website at http://www.earthhour.org/
As of this blog today, around 289,890 have signed up!
Yup, technology works and can help the earth!
