Earth Hour 2012

Earth Hour began as a single-city initiative in 2007. From 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on 31 March, 2.2 million people switched off their lights to celebrate Earth Hour in Sydney, Australia. The power saved during the 60-minute switch-off was equivalent to removing 48,613 cars off Sydney roads for an hour. In 2008, Earth Hour became a global movement, and the Philippines was the first Southeast Asian country to pledge full support. From 2009 to 2011, the Philippines, with the most number of cities and municipalities participating in the cause-oriented activity, has been a four-time Earth Hour champion.

WWF's Panda Shop Now Open for A Merry Green Christmas!

TADI ALERT:

It's second of the "ber" months and I bet you've also noticed that we started hearing Christmas carols already and seeing Christmas decors everywhere!  And when early morning gives us a reason to stay in bed for minutes more or even an hour, it’s a sign that the cool breeze is near and the Christmas season will soon hit the city! And that gives us the signal to start preparing your holiday gift lists!

For the upcoming Christmas season, the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) invites you to have the environment in mind and spread the love for the planet by sporting and patronizing items from The Panda Shop, the conservation organization’s merchandising line.
