As a first step towards WORLD SILENT DAY 21 March 2008

You don’t have to be a superhero to tackle climate change. We can reduce green house gas emission by doing nothing!!! Through Silence. This is inspired by the Nyepi or Silent day practiced by people in Bali for many centuries, even now. For 24 hours people do not travel, work or light the lamps at night.

One Silent Day in Bali is estimated to reduce at least 20,000 tons of CO2, the largest contributor of green house gas. Please see www.worldsilentday.org

We invite you to contribute to green house gas reduction by reducing energy consumption on 21 March. SWITCH OFF YOUR ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES (computer, AC, TV, radio, cell phone, some lamps, etc) FOR 4 HOURS ONLY!!

REMEMBER 21 MARCH!!!
GIVE THE EARTH SPACE AND TIME TO BREATHE!!

PLEASE SEND THIS CAMPAIGN SHEET TO OTHERS!!
OR YOU CAN FIND YOUR OWN WAY OF SILENCE


Don't forget to sign the online petition to convince the Philippine Government to switch to clean energy and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions!

I'm proud to say that I'm a part of GREENPEACE now.

GREENPEACE begun with a small group of individuals who decided to get together to protest against nuclear testing at Amchitka, off the west coast of Alaska. They went on to form GREENPEACE and later initiated campaigns on major environmental issues. One of the founding principles of GREENPEACE is to "bear witness"  - that is to watch and record environmental destruction. This principle of direct action together with peaceful confrontation has been the cornerstone of GREENPEACE's campaigns.

I truly believe that we cannot go on consuming more of the earth's precious resources without consequences. We should be concerned about how this climate crisis we are in will affect future generations. I want everyone to realize that we have the power to change this and that now is the time to act!
