SS Globalization Project Reflection- Earth Hour



How has it transformed our world?
Earth Hour has greatly transformed our world. Nowadays on March 28th from 8:30-9:30pm earth hour is celebrated around the world. From 8:30-9:30 people and families all around the world turn off all their electricity and participate in earth hour. In our poster that we made to teach our peers about earth hour, we showed that in every continent, even Antarctica, people celebrate earth hour. This year 5251 cities and towns, 135 countries, and 1.8 billion people celebrate earth hour. Also, since earth hour is celebrated around the world, many people know about the organization. With the publicity that this organization has, people know about it and know that they can donate money. Earth hour supports many organizations that helps many impoverished countries in need of help and electricity. Some organizations that earth hour supports are: red cross, flame called hope, lights 4 stripes, bancas for the Philippines, stoves to protect pandas, and light up a village.

What is some cool/interesting you found out?
Something cool about earth hour is that the icon/super hero/role model is spider man. So on the hour of earth hour spider man came to marina bay sands to celebrate with the people. Mostly all the lights were shut off and there were many candles. Also earth hour first started in Sydney and then slowly countries around the world started to copy Sydney. The first country that copied Sydney was San Francisco, this was the first part of globalization for earth hour.
