THE EARTH HOUR

Yesterday 26th of March, at 8:30 PM , lights switched off around the globe for Earth Hour. Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries.
What about you? Did you remember to turned off your lights? Our town hall did and here is the video of that moment. First, you can hear the bells of the clock ringing at 8:30 and then you can see how lights go dissappearing little by little. Emotional!

WORLD WATER DAY

Today, 22nd of March, is World Water Day. This year is the 18th anniversary of this event, created by the United Nations in 1993 to celebrate fresh water and to remind us that the majority of the deaths are related to unsafe drinking water. But how can we help as individuals? It´s very important to save water: have quick showers, close the tap meanwhile we brush your teeth, use the flush only when necessary, ...
Every year there is a new logo and this is for 2011:
"Water for cities, responding to the urban challenge".
Now please watch these two advertisements about this event and remember:
SAVE WATER, SAVE LIFES

If you succeed in trapping one, them the pot of gold will be yours. That´s why many children prepare leprechaun´s traps on St. Patrick´s Day Eve. Have a look at these videos and prepare yours...
