CARL SARGEANT AM BACKS EARTH HOUR
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, is asking constituents to join him in backing Earth Hour 2009.Taking place on March 28th, the initiative is organised by the WWF and encourages people to switch off their lights for one hour. Mr Sargeant explains: “Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia, in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for an hour in an attempt to save energy and cut carbon emissions. Just two years on, 82 nations have now voiced their support for Earth Hour which will take place at 20:30 local time. The goal for this year is to have one billion people across the globe participating.“WWF's Earth Hour is being hailed as the biggest ever global movement. More than 2,140 towns, cities and municipalities have already pledged to participate. Cities from Las Vegas to Sydney, from Cape Town to Beijing will go dark for an hour.“Earth Hour has really struck a chord with people – it is a simple way in which people can send a clear message that they want action on climate change. I urge constituents in Alyn and Deeside to engage with this important symbolic global call to action.”
