Nadya Hutagalung, Earth Hour Ambassador, said, "We have been living on this Earth for countless years. Her kindness hardly ever enters our minds. For one hour, we ask you to stop and think of her. It might just be an hour, but it is a reminder of what we should be keeping in mind at all times. In the quietness of the darkened night, make a silent pledge to remember her. Earth Hour. One Hour. One World. One person can make a difference." |

Utt, popular regional artiste, MTV VJ and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be you and do your part. Let's save the earth one year at a time, a month at a time, a week at a time, a day at a time, an hour at a time, earth hour every hour. Please join us. It's free!" |

Hady Mirza, Asian Idol, Artiste Networks Artiste and Earth Hour Supporter said, "There has never been a better time for everyone to answer a global call.

Adrian Mok, Endurance Athlete as well as Business Owner of Hivelocity and Athlete's Circle Pte Ltd and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "Running takes me to places and I love exploring the terrain that Mother Nature offers.

Aun Koh, Publisher of The Miele Guide, PR expert, food blogger and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "Earth Hour is a beautiful demonstration that even the smallest actions can have great meaning and consequences. Especially when that action is echoed across the planet by hundreds of millions of people. Taken in sum, the collective voices of these people, from all over the world, adhering to the principles of Earth Hour, is akin to the roar of an ocean. And each and every one of us is but a small drop in this great body of water. But without us, without your participation and mine, without the efforts of every single person that believes in the ideals behind this great planetary movement, the ocean would soon dry up. And this is one cause too important for us to ever let that happen." |

Jo Soh of Hansel and Earth Hour Supporter remarked: "Join me on the 27 March, to switch off lights for a brighter future." |

Tung Soo Hua, MediaCorp Presenter, Chinese News and Earth Hour Supporter said, "When was the last time you enjoyed a candle light dinner with your loved ones? You might just want to do this on Earth Hour on 27 March 2010. This is a chance to bond with your family, and at the same time, be among the hundreds of millions worldwide to help in this cause. Beyond one night, you can follow through with your support is as simple as tweaking some personal habits that would go a long way – turn off the lights when not in use, plan those shopping trips, go on public transport! Indeed, treat every hour as Earth Hour." |

Denise Keller, Presenter, The Climate Project and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "My wish for Earth Hour 2010 is not only more people taking that little step in taking part but also knowing what Earth Hour stands for. Earth Hour is not just about switching off your lights and huddling with your loved ones in darkness for an hour but with just that one hour, how much of a difference we can make when we bond together on this planet. With our rampant use of social media like Facebook and Twitter, let's use what resources we have and spread the word on Earth Hour and what we hope to achieve. Involve everyone from friends to family members. Hey even your neighbors too! If each of us takes a stand, the difference will be considerable. Remember, it may just be a light switch, but really... It's a mind switch." |

Jamie Yeo, Host of Earth Hour 2010's outdoor event and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "We, in the rich parts of the world, are cocooned in our clean comfort and that makes it easy for us to forget that all the waste we create and the resources we use have devastating effect on our planet. Earth Hour is an important and necessary reminder that we need to do more, much more to create less waste and conserve the precious resources our earth provides." |

Anita Kapoor, Host, Writer & Earth Hour Supporter said, "There is no ‘movement' without action. There is no action without inspiration. There is no inspiration without information. Inform, inspire, act and give the earth a chance. Turn off and tune in. Support Earth Hour 2010." |

Chua Enlai, Fly Entertainment artiste and Earth Hour Supporter, stated, "We need somewhere for the future generations to live. In the past decade, I have witnessed some strange weather - that's the result of industrialisation and we should try to correct all the wrongs we have committed." |
| |
Jacqueline Chow, Fly Entertainment artiste and Earth Hour Supporter, said, "Climate change is an issue we can no longer ignore or take for granted. Around the world we hear news about worst heat wave, coldest winter and on the home front conversations revolve on how hot the weather is. And yes, it's been crazy hot. Every action counts, start with this small step of commitment to Earth Hour. Think about the world you want your kids and even your pets to live in." |

Jack & Rai, popular music duo and Earth Hour Supporters said, "It is as little as turning off your non-essential lights for an hour that can collectively save megawatts of electricity... and just for that hour reduce CO2 emissions by tonnes. It goes to show that a little from each individual can go a really long way, and we're doing our bit to help raise this awareness as well." |
| Globally, renowned international celebrities and revered community figures have also pledged their support to Earth Hour 2010 including international artist Tom Jones, actress Cate Blanchett, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chinese film star Li Bingbing, Portuguese footballer Nuno Gomes and South African rugby international Bryan Habana. |
