Bangkok - 8pm March 29, 2008
The people of Bangkok care deeply about climate change and we united in our resolve to meet this challenge in the best way that we could. This is why the City of Bangkok teamed with WWF to make Earth Hour 2008 a success around the world by being the lead city in Thailand that participated in the simple but momentous act of turning off the lights for one hour.
Here in Bangkok we understand that climate change is the most significant threat to life on Earth. One way to slow the current rate of global warming is for each individual and business to make small adjustments to the way they live. To meet the threat of climate change we need to demonstrate how simple and easy it is to make the small adjustments to our lives that begin to make the difference.
An event like Earth Hour that achieves full community involvement in a simple action like turning the lights off can make a huge difference. And even more importantly, it will mark the beginning of a campaign to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions Bangkok significantly.
WWF and Bangkok invited all households and businesses to take part in Earth Hour by turning off their lights for one hour at 8pm on March 29 2008.
