Penang Watch

ONE LAST CALL

On March 31 2007, for one hour, Sydney made a
powerful statement about the greatest contributor to global warming –
coal-fired electricity – by turning off its lights. Over 2.2 million
Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a
10.2% energy reduction across the city. What began as one city taking a
stand against global warming caught the attention of the world.

On March 29 2008, 24 global cities will participate
in Earth Hour 2008 from 8pm to 9pm. Earth Hour is the highlight of a
major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and individuals and
organizations to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on
an ongoing basis. It is about simple changes that will collectively
make a difference.

Therefore, the Youth Advisory Centre of Penang
Family Planning Association invites you to join us to make a stand to
help reduce GLOBAL WARMING as we realised the need for action on this environment problem. So please
switch off your electricity from 8pm-9pm on 29th march 2008, which is
tomorrow! Its simple!! By doing that, you are actually making a great
impact on reducing global warming. Enjoy the stars on that night or
plan something with your friends. Have a candlelight dinner with your
loved ones perhaps? Join us in this cause for a better environment and
better tomorrow. We hope that at least 5% of electricity in our beloved
Penang could be switch off. Imagine if your hometown in darkness for
one hour. Haha! Remember, you can make a change!!

My
friends, it’s just less then 28hours from now. Please help me to spread
this message to every person and every organization you know by talking
face-to-face, phone calls, sms-es, e-mails, blogs, friendster,
facebook, myspace etc. Join this cause with other big cities such as
Sydney, Adelaide, Atlanta, Bangkok, Brisbane, Canberra, Chicago,
Christchurch, Copenhagen, Dublin, Manila, Melbourne, Montreal, Odense,
Ottawa, Perth, Phoenix, San Francisco, Suva, Tel Aviv, Toronto and
