Let's Unite To Take The Earth Hour 2013 Challenge

NEW DELHI - March 22, 2013 - PRLog -- The density of trees is lowering down. Rate of pollution is pitching high. There are rising alarms of global warming. There are several faces of the environmental challenges which are multiplying every day. Aware of the fact that it is already impacting people, animals, and places- hence Earth; Mr. KAMAL MEATTLE, renowned Indian environmentalist and CEO, Paharpur Business Centre & Software Technology Incubator Park (PBCTM - STIP) has taken an initiative to save our planet.

Earth Hour is the largest movement in the history of our planet, spanning 7,000 cities, 152 countries with a digital reach of 200 million. Mr. Meattle has supported the movement by accepting the ‘I Will If You Will (IWIYW) Challenge’. His challenge is to plant one tree for every 50 discarded plastic bottles if others reuse the bottles as planters.

This challenge will act as a helping hand and a sensible stimulator to increase the green quotient of our planet. Every new plant will be an assurance of lesser pollution and more oxygen. Every discarded plastic bottle will be a strict ‘No’ to the usage of non-biodegradable materials and reusing them will encourage rational eco-friendly practices- ‘Refuse, Reduce, Recycle and Reuse.’

The challenge will be viral in the upcoming hours. PBCTM-STIP wants to highlight this impact fully and ahead of Earth Hour on 23 March.

Mr. Kamal Meattle, CEO, PBCTM-STIP said, “Though sustainable future seems to be tough, it is far from impossible. The need of the hour is ‘Change’ and it needs everyone to follow.  PBCTM-STIP has always been supportive of efficient green practices. We have implemented several sustainable solutions and it’s heartening to see our efforts being recognized. Earth Hour 2013- IWIYW is another one. The movement will continue till our mission is accomplished.”

PBCTM-STIP appreciates the innovative approaches made for the Earth Hour 2013. This movement gives a platform to the millions of Earth dwellers to share their ideas of protecting our planet and showcase their support. Team PBCTM-STIP believes that with the help of this platform it can make a difference and dare the world to save the Earth.

Accept the challenge on our IWIYW Platform (https://www.youtube.com/earthhour?x=/challenges/5775) and prepare yourself to witness the revolution.
