8:30 PM, Saturday 27 March 2010 Earth Hour arrived!
Earth Hour, the brainchild of the WWF which began in Sydney, Australia in 2007, aims to traverse more than 25 cities across 14 time zones.
Lights went out for one hour all over the world and thousands of lights across Dubai and the UAE went out for one hour as it joined the “largest voluntary power down in history” in the fight against global climate change.
Emiratweet spent Earth Hour in AlBastakiya with Promise of A Generation (POAG) where we sat in the dark with an amazing group and listened and discussed with Samer Tabbara.
So did you capture this moment? What did you do that night? Did you write about it? Earth Hour in UAE share your moments …

So you have something you want to share of that moment?
You wouldn¡¯t believe it but I¡¯ve wasted all day digging for some articles about this. You¡¯re a lifesaver, it was an excellent read and has helped me out to no end. Cheers,
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
This article is amazing. I’m gonna put this in my bookmarks before I lose the url, I don’t think I’ll ever find my way back again otherwise!
