Earth Hour Night Ride 2016 on March 19 in CDO

Leonardo DeCaprio finally won the Oscars for Best Actor after his 6 Nominations and he said on his speech the following words about Climate Change:
"And lastly I just want to say this: Making ‘The Revenant’ was about man's relationship to the natural world. A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history. Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow. Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. 
We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed. I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much."


Now, the Month of March is the month where Earth hour organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature is being celebrated around the Globe in response to climate change. This is where everyone, the communities, households and businesses were encourage to switch off their light and any electronic devices at home that will consume electricity like television, computers, etc. for an hour from 8:30 to 9:30 p. m. as a symbol of commitment to the planet earth. Usually, Earth Hour has been celebrated every 28th of March, but this year (2016) it will be on March 19.

Now, here in Cagayan de Oro City, with its advocacy to promote a cleaner, sustainable environment, HABAGAT OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT has been enlightened to be one with the call for climate change action. HABAGAT OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT has been hosting the annual EARTH HOUR NIGHT RIDE in Cagayan de Oro City since 2009. This year, they will continue the event in partnership with Ayala Centrio Mall. Around 1,000 bikers from all walks of life gather every year to participate the Earth Hour Night Ride to show to the world their concern about climate change, by reducing carbon footprint, aiming for a cleaner air. This event became nationwide ever since they started and this year it will be staged in 11 locations nationwide - Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu, Manila, Davao, Dumaguete, Ormoc, Tarlac, Palompon, Leyte, Ozamis and Zamboanga simultaneously.

So what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and family members and grab your bikes on March 19 at 8PM at Centrio Mall and join the Earth Hour Night Ride, FREE registration will starts at 6:00 PM and Jersey is OPTIONAL and Ride time will be at 7:30-8:30PM. It is not just any ride because you will give a message to the world and shine a light on climate change action.

The event is not just only for Bikers, because aside from biking, there is also walking event for those who don't or doesn't have a bike. So, bring your family and friends and walk for climate change.

Though the earth hour activity is a free registration activity. The ROTA Philippines, a partner of this activity, encourage participants especially on the walk activity to bring pencils and writing papers for grade school pupils.

Rota promote adventure, enjoyment, reforestation and safety. They have been doing outreach programs such as Feeding programs, giving school supplies and educating pupils from hard-to-reach places around the Philippines and other fund raising events for a cause. So, your pencils and papers will not just end up somewhere else, because Rota will deliver those school supplies to pupils from hinterland places.
