1 MAR 2014	SWITCH OFF FOR EARTH HOUR
	Switch off your lights and switch on your mind-set to preserve the planet’s resources. That was the World Wide Fund for Nature SA’s message yesterday, leading up to Earth Hour later this month. The organisation launched a digital platform at the Johannesburg Zoo, where people from around the world were invited to pledge their commitment to conserving electricity. WWF SA CEO Morné du Plessis said each time a promise was posted on the “how do you honour the earth” online platform, a virtual planet would be restored. “The platform allows users to see the promises of other people and organisations and to share them on social media, with the intention of creating a conversation and momentum for the environment,” said Du Plessis. “It is essential to remember that through our everyday consumer choices and how we spend our money, we are actually voting for the products, services and organisations that strive to live up to an environmental mandate. Let’s make choices that support our planet.” (Photo) Miss Earth South Africa 2013 Ashanti Mbanga at the Earth Hour press conference, 28 February 2014, at the Johannesburg Zoo. Read on
