Aklanon
residents are thanked and congratulated by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR), the environmental department responsible for
coordinating Earth Hour in the Philippines.
According
to DENR Aklan Administrative Officer IV Merlita Ninang, “The support from the community
for Earth Hour has been fantastic and I’d like to thank everyone who is taking
part with a positive contribution for our planet.”
“Earth
Hour is a time to reflect on the serious situation our planet is in with our
natural resources being used faster than what is generated, and how we can do
something good for the planet, such as using less energy in our daily lives.”
She added.
Meanwhile,
Earth Hour has always been more than just about lights off, it’s about people
from all walks of life coming together and was embraced by the global
community, transcending race, culture, age and economics as individuals took
leadership in their communities in the pursuit of a cleaner and safer planet.
