How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?
By asking people everywhere to turn off their lights, microwaves, radios, televisions and even their televisions for just one hour on March 28, 2009 between 7:00 and 8:00 pm local time.
At the GeoFree Technology Labs and Home Office, all the lights, radios, televisions and even the computers will be shut off in support of Earth Hour 2008. It might seem like a small thing but everyone at GeoFree Technology, encourages everyone to join us and make a difference. It’s a small way to change a big footprint!
Earth Hour started on 31 March 2007 when 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney Australia voluntarily turned off their lights for one hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney area in 2007 during that first Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year. WithAustralia icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in Sydney turning their lights off and a number of unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Earth Hour is inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2009, turning a symbolic event into a global movement
GeoFree Technology is proud to be part of the movement!
