DAGUPAN CITY – Pangasinenses
joined the global call to observe the Earth Hour, a movement to bolster
awareness about climate change and its impacts, last Saturday from 8:30 p.m. to
9:30 p.m.
The Provincial Environment
and Natural Resources (Penro), in cooperation with the city government of
Dagupan and Jollibee Group of Companies, led Pangasinense youth in a Zumba
session at the City Plaza here to rally people to the reality of climate
change.
During the hour-long shut
down of power, participants used neon lights and glow sticks as they
participated in the walk-for-a-cause while carrying banners and
placards with slogans calling for the people to take concrete action to protect
and preserve the environment.
Penro head Leduina Co
reiterated the benefit of conducting Earth Hour, which is to give rest to
Mother Earth from the heat emitted by the lights and appliances that the people
are using, causing global warming.
In Calasiao town, kids also
had their share to Earth Hour when they wrote messages for the care of the
environment and posted them in a freedom wall placed at the Robinsons Mall to
remind people of their responsibility to nature.
