EARTH HOUR 2011

So Michelle took part in her first official WWF event, EARTH HOUR 2011. Singapore did it big by having an event at Marina Bay with bands, booths and a 3.5km walk around the Marina during the actual hour where the lights were off. While the downtown core shut off about 40% of their lights (a little disappointing - especially the Sands Resort that didn't seem to turn off anything), about 3000 supporters took part in the walk. What's extra cool is that the WWF team were expecting about 1500 but one day before the event, the website got hammered with signups, so much so, they had to shut the site down. Michelle was running the Registration Booth with about 12 ass kicking Volunteers and they were busy for the entire night. Overall, it was a successful event, a well run event and a good time was had by all at Earth Hour Singapore.
