At 8:30pm on Saturday March 28, cities around the world will turn off their lights for one hour to show that it's possible to take action on global warming.

All households, communities and business are being invited to turn their lights off for one hour at 8:30pm on March 28, 2009.

NTU will be turning off the lights in selected places in the school compund for Earth Hour and we ask that you turn off your computer monitors and lights in your work space before you leave at the end of the week (Friday, 27 March 09). Naturally, we will adhere to our school safety guidelines/standards and emergency lighting and security systems will remain on as normal.

Further information about Earth Hour can be found on the website (http://www.earthhour.org) and Earthlink NTU website (http://clubs.ntu.edu.sg/earthlink/). Posters will be displayed around the NTU school campus.

We are inviting feedback on what our NTU can do to reduce energy emissions in NTU campus. Please send your feedback to earthlinkfeedback@yahoo.com or join in the forum at http://clubs.ntu.edu.sg/earthlink/forum/ .

This event will be held during the 1 hour of switching off lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is not about saving electricity.

Earth Hour is the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change. It is a way of telling our leaders to seal a deal in Copenhagen coming December over climate change issues. Let us all stand up, make a difference, and change ourselves. We must walk it together!


Further more, it is to generate awareness the importance of energy saving, a pledge that we ourselves could do everyday. This ranges from appliances as simple as switching off our lights when we leave the room, switching our laptops off instead of leaving in standby mode.

Let us all support Earth Hour one way or another!
