Amman to go dark this weekend

This year, Amman will be taking part in joining the rest of a lengthy list of world cities in turning off their lights for an hour to mark “Earth Hour”. The idea of the initiative is to push the issue of global warming in to psyche of people and government everywhere.

It is just one hour, and it’s on a Saturday the 28th of March.

Do you think it is a good initiative? Do you think people will understand why the electricity won’t be working? Do you think people in Amman will become more conscious of the issues that revolve around the environment?  Do you think the initiative has any values?

If you’re a blogger, blog about it ahead of time to spread the word. If you’re a reader, go out and take pictures or video of your neighbourhood or Amman’s darkened landmarks. Document it. Write about it. Send it in to 7iber to get published.

Let us know what you think

  3. Earth Hour 2008: Call to Action Jordan movement brought the city’s first Earth Hour to Amman where many jordanian residents eagerly participated with people turning off their lights between 8 and 9pm on March 29,2008.

    Candlelight could be seen flickering in apartments located near the city centre, and several families throughout the city hosted Earth Hour events at private residences.

    Earth Hour 2009: At 8:30 pm on the 28March millions of people around the world will use the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

    Mark your calendar and join The World Wild Life Fund and our partners in the global “Earth Hour” movement by turning your lights off.

    Where Will the Lights Go Off? Anyone can get involved and individuals around the world will be shutting the lights off in their homes and businesses. In addition, major participation is planned on six continents.

    Jordan will also turn off lights at all public buildings and many main roads on Saturday for one hour on the occasion of the Earth Hour at the aim of increasing awareness on environment to save power and alleviate carbon emission. Electricity will be switched off in certain parts of the capital on Saturday evening for one hour in a message to the public that excessive electricity use contributes to global warming, Minister of Environment Khalid Irani told The Jordan Times on Sunday, noting that as certain street lamps and public agencies will go dark, Amman residents are requested to join the event voluntarily.

    Several families and private businesses are hosting Earth Hour events at private residences, cafés and restaurants where candlight are going to be visible glowing in the dark.

    As members of the WWF we are proud to have introduced the Earth Hour phenomena to Jordan!
