March 28: KDS Offline Gathering & Earth Hour
On this Saturday, March 28, there are two big events which will definitely generate much buzz.
1. KDS Offline Gathering
KDS is a lifestyle BBS forum under PChome. It is the top local online community based in Shanghai. KDS is filled with Shanghai residents talking about the latest gossip, news, generally playing around, and any other life related topic.
On March 28, KDS is going to hold its annual offline gathering. This year’s theme is “Love Shanghai, Love KDS”. Till now, 1,741 forum members enrolled. If you interested in Shanghai Internet culture, if you want to observe the great popularity of KDS, please join with all the TF (土匪, nickname of KDS forum member) on the coming Saturday!
2. Earth Hour
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one whole hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 100 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, WWF is asking people across the world to turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet. This year, there are more social media channels for people to follow Earth Hour.
