In participation with Earth Hour 2009, Paper-Replika brings you this Earth Hour papercraft symbolized by a light switch and ballot box.
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.
For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
Today is Earth Day, a day that we call for action to protect our blue planet's fragile ecosystems from our excessive and unrestrained use of its natural resources. I've searched for some Earth Day papercraft or anything related to it but there's not much out there that has good quality to them. These three however, fit perfectly. We start of with Canon's Globe Puzzle papercraft, we've previously shown this one before but its a very good paper model and educational tool that we'll show it again.
Next we go to Italia to our friend Pino's place (Paperpino) for his Earth Relief Globe papercraft, and finally we visit Japan to see the eco-kun papercraft character, it's a mascot for the Kahma Company Ltd. that promotes eco-friendly products - Kahma is a DIY hardware and household goods store, similar to Home Depot or Lowes here in the US.
