Are you for Earth or global warming?

19.03.2009 | 1916 դիտում

This year the Earth Hour has really gone global, people of all ages, nationalities, race and religion will come together to vote for Earth, by switching off the lights on the 28th of March, 8:30-9:30pm.

This initiator of the action WWF (World Wildlife Fund) is hoping to hit a target of 1 billion votes.

Pretty SMART goal, as they do a great promotion.

During the same action of the past years not only individuals but companies and cities took part, e.g. New York, Rome, Coca-Cola etc.

What started in Sydney, has now become a world-wide action against global warming.

We strongly, recommend all companies to support it. Here is how you can do it, according to Earth Hour 2009.

1. Hold a contest among employees with a prize for the best ideas for reducing waste and cutting energy consumption in your company's daily operations. 2. Ask your business partners, suppliers and industry peers to support Earth Hour. Hang banners and posters so that your support is visible to all who enter your offices or buildings. 3. Turn your website €œgo black€ during the week leading up to Earth Hour; make all white backgrounds black and all black text white. (Google did this in 2008!) Post a blurb about the event on your homepage that links to the Earth Hour home page. 4. Hold a company-wide event or celebration for employees the week proceeding Earth Hour and serve €œgreen-themed€ refreshments. Host an Earth Hour €œlights out€ party for your staff, customers and vendors on the night of the event. Be sure to turn out at 8:30 pm local time.

5. Schedule a meeting or send an email to employees from the Chairman or CEO explaining why the company is supporting Earth Hour and urge them to €œturn out€ at home. The entire executive team, including the CEO, should pledge to participate as well. 6. Create an Earth Hour section on the company intranet where employees can post ideas for celebrating Earth Hour and photos following up the event.

7. Hold employee contests with awards going to the staff member who recruits the most people to sign a pledge to say they will participate or who comes up with the most creative promotional idea for Earth Hour.

8. Ask the company cafeteria to hold a special candlelight lunch the week of Earth Hour, featuring dishes prepared using organic and sustainably products to remind employees about the event.

9. Create special TV, radio and newspaper ads to showcase your company's participation in Earth Hour and to urge others to join. 10. Issue a news release and contact news media and radio stations and tell them what your company is doing to support Earth Hour and why.
