It's time to vote!

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.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

10 things

I saw that on some of the blogs that I follow that they have a list of 8 interesting things or things no one knows about them. You then tag 8 people and they have to do the same. It seems like fun but I don't know enough bloggers to be tagged or to tag. So I've made my list 10 points long and I'll only tag one person. It seems fair I think!

1.I love Soft Lips (lip ice) but for a R17 worth lip ice I really loose them easily! Like put them in my handbag the morning an open a new one that evening, easily. I have given up on buying them. It just so happens that a lost one pops up somewhere (like the washing machine) as soon as I need it!

2.I am an Organ Donor. It seems more use full if some one's life can be saved by my departure than letting the worms eat it all.

3.If I don't paint my nails, I nibble at them. Nibbling leads to tearing and then it just doesn't look pretty! So I paint my nails! So the point is, I bite my nails.

4.I love dark, DARK, deep dark chocolate!

5.I love animals so much that I dream about having a farm with baby pigs, miniature horses, regular horses, 8 dogs, 6 cats, rabbits...OK, you get the picture!

6.I talk in my sleep. I have had episodes where I wake up from talking. I see things like ants under my pillow or I want to know at 2 in the morning where my handbag is....Nico finds it hilarious!

7.I can't stay up very late. By 9 I am tired and cranky. Even over weekends! I have tried staying awake longer...but there has to be really good conversation or food, otherwise I'm OUT!

8.I can't handle raw meat!Even if its the slightest of pink, I cant stomach it! It has to be dry, almost burnt and practically impossible to chew! For that reason I am not a big red meat fan. I prefer chicken or fish and i wont mind eating just veggies!

9.I don't drink coke. I am not a fan of fizzy drinks in general, but coke is just way too sweet and gassy!

10.I love rain! I love how it cools everything down and how it smells! It has rained on my birthday almost every year since I can remember. I consider it a blessing!

There you have it!
