"Pool" together— Keep On With Earth Hour Spirit!
'Earth Hour 2011' was a major success once again! This year, 250 million people in Hong Kong took part, together with people in more than 134 countries around the world. But the symbolic action of switching off the lights for one hour is just a beginning — we have to go beyond the hour and consume wisely from now on, so that planet Earth continues to thrive in a sustainable way!
To promote the Earth Hour spirit, a fun and interactive platform is now available on-line — the 'Earth Hour Pool'! 'Pooling' means that we share our resources and reduce consumption at the same time. For example, if you must take a taxi, why not create a 'Taxi Pool' with your colleagues or friends? Not only can you save money this way, but you will also reduce carbon emissions and gas consumption! Or what about watching the same programme with other family members in the living room together? Click here to create your own pool now!
The Earth Hour photo competition is now finished — thanks to all for your support! The winning photo is now available as the base photo of the mosaic platform for everyone to upload their shots. Show your support now! The on-line mosaic platform is sponsored by Canon Hongkong Company Ltd.
The Standard Chartered Hong Kong 150th Anniversary Community Foundation is the lead sponsor of Earth Hour in Hong Kong for two consecutive years.
