Earth Hour

The Earth Hour, where people switch off lights for an hour, is a campaign started by world wide Fund for nature in 2007 to create awareness about climate change and environmental problems. It was based on an idea successfully implemented in Thailand in 2005 and later in Sydney in 2007.



New ISRO satellite study says 75% of Himalayan Glaciers are melting, 8% advancing and 17% showing no change. Average retreat was an alarming 3.75 Km between 1989 & 2004. 2190 Glaciers were studied, with experts making field trips to confirm satellite data. The Findings are sure to raise concern over the health of Asia's 'water Towers'.
