Ahh..you scoff at the idea of saving energy for one miserable hour. What can one hour do to save the earth? Well, it's really not about saving as much energy for that one hour but really, it's a reminder that we all can do better at saving our own planet because there's no one else responsible for it but us...
So if you'd like to be a volunteer for one day, and try to make a difference in any small way that you can, here's how:
Earth Hour 2010 was the largest voluntary action for the environment in history with lights going out across 128 countries and over 4,500 cities worldwide. This year, WWF-Malaysia is inviting volunteers* to stand together with the world in a global celebration of the one thing that unites us all – the planet.
