Phuket Night to Shed Light on Saving Energy

Phuket Night to Shed Light on Saving Energy

Thursday, February 3, 2011
ON MARCH 26 an anticipated total of more than one billion people from 223 countries around the world will switch off all non-essential lights and electronic appliances between 8.30pm and 9.30pm Phuket time in support of the fifth annual Earth Hour.

What started as a project between the World Wildlife Fund and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007 has become a global tradition and the 2011 hour expected to be bigger than ever before as part of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness about climate change.

As a central figure in the Phuket community, 91.5FM Phuket Island Radio is actively supporting Earth Hour and volunteering to raise awareness of the movement so that everyone in Phuket - Thais, expats and holidaymakers - can join the fight to make a difference by switching off their lights.

More information about Earth Hour Phuket - in English and Thai - can be found at the website www.earthhourphuket.com and volunteers can also register their support for 'Lights Out Phuket' on the Earth Hour Phuket page on Facebook.

Climate change is of growing concern to everyone, something highlighted by the difficulties facing many around the world right now.

91.5FM hopes that everyone in Phuket on March 26 will join the station in switching their lights off for 60 minutes and contributing to the efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.

The power goes out at regular enough intervals in Phuket anyway. Does it really make any difference if it's voluntary?
