[eve_aida]

Hi everyone,

On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, I am taking part in Earth Hour – a global event in which millions of people will turn out their lights to make a statement of concern about our planet and climate change. I want to invite you to join, too!

Sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour got started just two years ago and is now the largest event of its kind in the world. Last year, more than 50 million participated and the lights went out at the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and the Coliseum in Rome, just to name a few.

This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger – already 250 cities in 74 countries have agreed to take part including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico City. And in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur and several other cities will be turning out our lights, too.

But Earth Hour isn't just for big cities – anyone can participate. Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and free. I hope you will join me for this amazing event. To sign up, visit http://www.earthhour.org/. where you'll learn more including ways you can spread the word about Earth Hour, plus creative things to do when the lights go out in case you need inspiration!

By signing up you are supporting Earth Hour's aim to reach more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world in 2009. Earth Hour is inviting communities, business and governments to switch off lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday March 28, sending a powerful global message that we care enough about climate change to take action.

Let’s show the world we are united in the fight against global warming. Please pass this note along to anyone you think might want to take part. Let's all come together and switch off our lights on March 28 at 8:30 pm.

Thanks.
