- Community organisations around the world get behind global campaign
Kay Tse thinks that energy-saving practices could easily be followed by everyone. "In an expedition to the glacier, I was able to see the impact of climate change. In a trip to Japan, I admired their recycling policies. Hong Kong really has room to improve." She greatly supports WWF's Earth Hour campaign, "This campaign tells our children that simple actions in our daily lives can make a difference. Turning off the lights is as simple as turning them on."
"The spirit of Earth Hour, ‘the Power of One' is a very powerful one. It promotes harmony." Eason Chan said. He calls for action on treasuring natural resources, to make a better world for the next generation. "If the situation is that we are depleting our natural resources, we need to take action by changing our lifestyles." He encourages people to turn off non-essential lights as well as switching off appliances not in use, just like what he does at home.
Tsang Chi-Wai views the Earth as a big "family" that all of us should take care of and contribute to. "Global temperatures increasing, abnormal natural phenomena occurring more often, etc., we need to be alert now." He encourages all Hong Kong people to tackle climate change. "If everyone cares about this "family", the earth would become a better place."
Chet Lam spreads the conservation message through his songs. He is very excited about Earth Hour 2009. "Simple daily activities such as traveling, turning lights on, as everyone consumes energy, everyone should also take on responsibility to protect and save the earth." He suggests people start planning for the 28 March night, "list what you have to do on that night, do it before 8pm, and then get prepared to turn off all lights at 8.30pm!"
Youth groups including the Junior Police Call, Scout Association of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups also pledged to support Earth Hour, raising the awareness of combating climate change within the younger generation.
The Scouts, the world's largest youth movement with more than 28 million members in 160 countries, lead thousands of community groups around the world mobilising their supporters for Earth Hour, the global expression of a desire for serious and sustained action on climate change.
"The young are vitally concerned about the future and many are well aware that climate change is the greatest threat to the planet's future. We are delighted that the Scouts are again working with us to secure the environment for generations to come," said James Leape, Director General of WWF International.
