Earth Hour 2011



Here at The Syllabus Agency we got our Earth Hour party started by launching the ‘lights out’ event a day early during office hours!

As first time celebrators, the rush was on to complete lists of work before 5pm sharp! Finally, at 5.10pm lights went down, Computers put to sleep and plug sockets were switched off. Earth Hour had arrived in all her glory and we felt her essence, so in honor of our country England and Her Majesty Queen Liz we cracked open the beers and prepared for the band to arrive.

It wasn’t just a random act in which we Joined global cites and great British landmarks that bowed down to the power of Earth for an hour of darkness that would inevitably fill us with more light at the end. Landmarks such as EDF Energy, The London Eye, Manchester United Old Trafford, No 10 Downing Street and six bridges across the Thames including the iconic Tower Bridge were involved. Even Queen Elizabeth joined households around the world for Earth Hour with lights going off at Buckingham Palace.

The overcoats a London based band Inspired by Pop music and the love of ambience in empty rooms filled our office floor with acoustic sounds and numbers such as “Give yourself to me” and “Hangover Square.” With Matt’s quirky lyrics and Kate’s sweet harmonies we felt entirely in the Spirit of Earth hour.

4 months into 2011 and our planet has witnessed more than 5 natural disasters. From forest fires to earthquakes and of course a tsunami. Here at the syllabus Agency we understand and feel the necessity to be more carbon efficient and less wasteful in this current climate. We used Earth Hour to establish a fresh start of corporate consciousness. So here is our commitment to earth. We shout out with pride to you and the rest of the world from one office to another. Together we can make a difference!

Our Earth Hour film is Coming soon.
