Happy Earth Hour 2015

[DemonSlayerzKing]

 
Earth Hour started in 2007 as a lights-off event to raise awareness about climate change. Earth Hour was famously started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then it has grown to engage more than 162 countries and territories worldwide. Earth Hour 2015 is on 28 March 2015, 8:30 pm (Malaysia GMT+8). Earth Hour is more than an event. It is a movement that has achieved massive environmental impact, including legislation changes by harnessing the power of the crowd.

Help bring solar power to families in the Philippines

 
About 15 million Filipinos have no access to electricity. This year, Earth Hour Philippines aims to offer families The Gift of Light by distributing solar lights among fish ranchers and seaweed farmers in Beton, an offshore community in Taytay, Northern Palawan. This is a WWF solution to help spark the hope of a bright future for the families, a future where their children will be able to study at night without the risk of fire and the expenses of buying kerosene. Millions of Filipino children will study by candlelight tonight.

Beacon for the Sunderbans

 

For many of us, it is hard to imagine life without electricity. It is something we take for granted and yet, for people living in India’s rural communities, having no electricity is the grim reality. Completely off-the-grid, families turn to burning kerosene and firewood for cooking, lighting and heating, running a number of health and safety hazards. WWF has been working actively with rural communities to make the switch from dirty and dangerous fuels to renewable energy. With several projects implemented successfully, we are now working to ensure that vulnerable communities in the low-lying islands of the Sunderbans are supplied with their own micro solar power plant, along with a comprehensive distribution network and wiring systems within their homes.
