Pocoyo Urges You to Turn Out Your Lights
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Earth Hour today announced that Pocoyo would serve a third term as Earth Hour’s Global Kids’ Ambassador, spearheading the initiative to reach kids through a new partnership with the organization, Ocean Defenders Alliance Organization.
Earth Hour 2013, the global initiative in partnership with WWF, takes place Saturday, March 23rd from 8.30pm to 9:30pm local time as individuals, businesses, governments and communities are invited to turn out their lights for one hour to show their support for environmentally sustainable action.
Crossing borders of race, religion, culture, geography and society to unite in a single moment of contemplation for the planet, hundreds of millions of people participate in Earth Hour each year in celebration of their year-round commitment to protect and preserve the planet.
As part of the 2013 Earth Hour “I Will If You Will” campaign, Zinkia Entertainment is introducing Pocoyo’s Ocean Cleanup Game, available beginning March 18th through Earth Hour’s website (www.earthhour.org) and the Official Pocoyo Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pocoyo).
