CA Gen and Earth Hour
On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 p.m.,Gentalk.biz will be taking part in Earth Hour, sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund. We’ll be joining tens of millions of concerned citizens and corporations in calling for action to save our planet for future generations.
We’re proud that Gentalk.biz is making a statement about the fight against climate change, and we as individuals can sign up to participate, too. You can learn more about Earth Hour at www.EarthHour.org, and you can sign up to participate at www.EarthHour.org/signup.
If you’d like a high level history of Earth Hour, more than 50 million people in 400 cities around the world took part in Earth Hour 2008. The lights went out at Sydney’s Opera House, Rome’s Coliseum, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. Even the Google homepage went dark for the day. Many major corporations took part including HP, Coca-Cola, and Morgan Stanley.
If you think about it, CA Gen already supports the planet – how ? – by allowing more work to be done by less developers, since the tool is more productive than many other development environments, thereby reducing the carbon footprint and impact to the only planet we have..
This year, Earth Hour promises to be even bigger, with more signing on daily. People in nternational cities such as Beijing, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, Rome, and Toronto will be switching their lights out. You can view WWF’s video about Earth Hour 2009 at www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjWD8pbK5t8 to get a sense of the magnitude of this event.
Gentalk.biz is proud to support Earth Hour – I hope you’ll join us in uniting with the world to make a difference for our planet. Don’t forget—March 28th at 8:30 pm, turn out, take action.
Thanks for promoting Earth Hour! Another way you can recruit people to the cause is by creating a Earth Hour group on Commit21.com. Simply create a group about one action that you will commit to do for Earth Hour and recruit your friends, family, and co-workers to get involved in that action as well. When it comes to climate change, simple actions can make huge differences and Commit21 leverages social media to influence networks of friends, family, and co-workers.
