We can all take part in this event together by doing what we're best at! That is to play the role model for the visitors whom we speak to once a month about saving energy and hence saving ourselves!
The actual flow of events tomorrow, 27th March 2010:

Party at the Park
Kicking-off an afternoon of fun will be the ‘Earth Hour Fun Cycle 2010’ tour. Organised by BAIK Singapore, a group of 100 environmental enthusiasts will ride their bicycles in a show of support, starting at the SMU campus green at 5.30pm and along a 6km route to the Esplanade Park.
Activities kick-off at Esplanade Park at 6pm, starting with a free public yoga session led by Yvette Tee, instructor at Kryoga. Come calm your mind and re-connect with nature before the entertainment begins. For those who want to join in, please bring your own mats or blankets – alternatively you can choose to go barefoot on the grass. Those not taking part can visit different stalls or get their faces painted as the WWF Panda.
At 7pm, the Earth Hour Concert will commence and WWF Singapore will also announce the winners of the “My Earth, My Ideas” competition then. An online competition ‘My Earth, My Ideas’ was launched, encouraging Singaporeans to submit their innovative and efficient ideas on how to lessen the negative impact of our actions on the environment in 80 words or less. The contest has received 250 entries with great ideas on how we can all do our bit to save the planet. The best three responses will be announced and winners will walk away with over S$1,000 worth of fabulous prizes between them.
From 7.30pm, participants and passers-by alike can groove to the beats of a great line-up of musical performances at the Earth Hour concert. This year’s concert will be hosted by Jamie Yeo and will include performances by popular local duo Jack & Rai, Illusionists JC Sum and Magic Babe ‘Ning’ and a special appearance by Earth Hour Ambassador Nadya Hutagalung. Alpha Biofuels, a home-grown company specialising in the provision of fuel made from waste cooking oil supplied by 313@Somerset and Four Seasons Hotel, will be supplying sustainable biodiesel to power this outdoor event.
The highlight of the evening of course, is the big switch-off. Grab your picnic basket and get a good spot by the riverside as the skyline plunges into darkness for one hour at 8.30pm. The Maybank Tower will hold a symbolic countdown to the hour as the lights on the building will power down one at a time, before going off for the remainder of the hour.
Meanwhile, the festivities continue on stage with performances by instrumental act Freedom Percussion, Syltra Lee with Aurigami, Nightsound and Juz B. As the city lights dim, another world lights up above us and participants may also choose to take part in another interesting event - star-gazing session organised by the Admiral Garden Astronomy Club.

Aren't you excited about it as much as I do? Then don't wait anymore, grab your family members and closest friends to share this moment with. Isn't doing something which you like and involving people around you, gearing up support from them the best feeling in the world? I wish we could have plan this earlier and make it a CC event for all of us but I kinda missed this out.. Anyway, if you take this chance to rally support from your family and friends, it will be great as well!!!
Have fun for CC (earthhour) day tmr, CC fam! :D
p/s: Am trying to get some pictures from my friend since he'll be taking photos around the happenings in Sg during EH and perhaps, we could write up a story and post here or publicise to the visitors on my next duty with Rachel at the zoo duty on 28th:D
cheers,
Angel
