Earth Hour 2009

March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm tens of millions of people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together once again to make a bold statement about their concern about climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. Earth Hour symbolizes that by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in the fight against climate change.

This year, the goals for Earth Hour are bigger because the stakes are higher. Already 250 cities in 74 countries have agreed to take part including Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and Nashville with more signing up every day. Around the world cities like Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico City will turn out their lights in support.

You can participate by easily turning off your lights for only one hour on March 28, 2009 from 8.30 to 9.30 pm of your local time. Show your commitment to the environment by participating on this simple activity and you will see that we can make a big difference if we work together to achieve a common goal.

Introduction: Welcome to the Blog

Hi there. My name is Riza and currently I am located in Thailand. I work for international construction company as a sustainability executive. I started this blog because I would like to share my insight about sustainability, which I feel is a very critical concept for ensuring our future wellbeing. My ultimate vision is to make this simple blog becomes a worldwide source of information and knowledge for latest technologies and implementation strategies regarding sustainability concept.

During the blog infant period, I commit to publish two posts every week. After six months or so, when the blog has settled, I have a target to provide daily post. You may think that it is pretty easy to provide daily post. Actually, it's true. However, I guarantee that only quality posts will be presented here. I want this place to serve as an excellent filter for numerous new information concerning sustainability that is available out there.

In the next few posts I will describe about what sustainability is and why it is important as well as the benefits that you will gain from the implementation. Further posts will explore on how you can implement the concept in your home and workplace. Afterwards, latest knowledge, strategies, techniques, and technologies in sustainability will dominate the posts in this blog.

Lastly, I would like to welcome you to the blog. If you have any comment or suggestion, please do not hesitate to leave a message. I am glad to hear back from you because I want this place to profit all readers from various industries and institutes.
