Could you survive for an hour without your lights on - on Saturday
night? Well that’s what the World Wildlife Dund is asking you to do. As
part of a worldwide earth hour – people across the world are being asked
to turn off all their lights and electrical appliances for one hour to create
awareness on climate change. In Belize that hour will be from 8:30 to 9:30 and
Nadia Bood told us why you should flip the switch at 8:30 on Saturday.
Nadia Bood, WWF
“All we’re asking you to do is a simple act, just turn off all
your lights from 8:30 to 9:30 on March 28th, Saturday pretty much. We are hoping
they will comply and everybody has the opportunity here to join the cause, to
have your voice be heard and so far we’ve been getting good response.
It si very simple act and what we are asking is for you to turn off your
lights and there are other things you do can do. We don’t expect you to
sit in a corner in the dark. You can socialize with friends. Like in Honduras
what we’ve been able to achieve is that you know people are very into
football and there is a major football event going on so they decided to watch
the game still under candle light. So it is a simple simple activity, you can
try to be innovative in how you utilize your time.”
