PROGRAM PROPOSAL

LSPR and SUDIRMAN PARK SUPPORT EARTH HOUR

28 March 2009

I. Introduction

Continuing the last event of LSPR 4C and Student League in joining Long March on Car Free Day, March 8, 2009 for Earth Hour Campaign, we are now cooperate with Sudirman Park to support Earth Hour. Based on the meeting we had with Sudirman Park in March 11, 2009 about this event, we were agree on certain things, such as: Sudirman Park will centrally turn of the lights in the lobby and every balcony, and LSPR will make brochures, posters, flyers, and banner for Sudirman Park to make the tenants aware and voluntarily will participate on this event.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one whole hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 100 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Coliseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, we are asking people in Jakarta, especially in Sudirman Park to turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday. Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.
