As the lights of Apia, Samoa were turned on once again at 21.30pm local time (08.30 GMT), the citizens of the world reflected on the planet’s largest collective leadership for climate action – Earth Hour 2010.
25 and three quarters hours after the first lights were turned off in Chatham Islands, the world has seen the lights go off on heritage sites, ancient and modern marvels, local cafes, schools, royal and presidential palaces, universities and backyard dinner parties.
A record 126 countries and territories, over 4,000 cities, towns and municipalities and hundreds of millions of people across the globe took part in delivering a powerful action of hope for a better, healthy planet
The Earth Hour Nigeria Team were also part of this big success and we really want to appreciate those that stood by us during the two weeks that preceded the Event. Much thanks to Laropa Suites, Cornsilk & Thistle, the FCT Education Resource Center,the people of 2nd Avenue 21 Road in Gwarinpa Estate and all Nigerians that helped spread the Earth Hour message, perhaps this is just the beginning...we can lead, take responsibility and change the cause of our living, positively.
