Earth Hour 2012...This evening - Just switch off your lights

Es ist wieder soweit, heute abend zwischen 20.30 Uhr und 21.30 Uhr sollten überall auf der Welt die Lichter ausgehen. Auch viele Zoos machen mit, wie hier der Toronto Zoo in Kanada oder der Alaska Zoo, also nicht vergessen und einfach mitmachen....-

No big explanations needed here, just don't forget to switch off the lights as every lst Saturday in March since 2007.

Some zoos participate too with candle events like the Alaska Zoo or Toronto where all essential lights will be switched off in regard for the polar bears threatened so obviously by our carbon emissions...

That was in 2010...

A picture of 1600 pandas exposed in Boulogne/Billancourt (France) on Saturday, 27th March 2010 on the occasion of Earth Hour to raise awareness about the consequences of our carbon prints on nature's wild life. The 1600 pandas represented the number estimated in 2004 of the remaining population in the wild in China...

This pic was in my archive...

OK, Knut is dead, but on days like this I can't help than thinking that he was not such a bad ambassador in the fight against CO2 emmissions...

There is NO zoo NOT mentioning anymore the deadly connection between climate change, our consumption and way to handle resources, and the future of polar bears in the wild.

All polar bears have become ambassadors -

And it's our turn to make a difference..., not just today.

So just join in!
