![]() "Earth Hour in Zambia has been organised by WWF Zambia Country Office since 2009. To date, Earth Hour has continued receiving support and goodwill in Zambia from various individuals, households, communities, government institutions and the private sector. In 2009, WWF Zambia organised a match past to which was graced by former president Kenneth Kaunda to sensitise the public about Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a global campaign for the planet urging individuals, households, communities, government institutions and the business sector to switch off non-essential lights on the last Saturday of March every year at 20:30 hours. In 2011, Earth Hour received support from the Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation(ZESCO), a strategic partner in the campaign for the planet in Zambia. Earth Hour got endorsements from ZESCO's 'Switch Off and Save Campaign' programme which encourages customers to conserve power by switching off non-essential appliances and lights. Added to this auspicious occasion, I am introducing a BIRTHDAY TREE for every one of birthdays to come in order to mark this occasion because earth hour almost always coincides with my birthday so I think it's fitting to take that decision, it will be an honour to plant a tree on every birthday to come and if you can, I extend the invitation to you. |
