Coimbatore's 88888 campaign
Coimbatore city has its own share of do-gooders, Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore , Siruthuli , Exnora International are a few action groups that do their bit, and show others the way to better civic and environmental sense. Following on the lines of the Earth Hour observed by several cities , Coimbatore district Exnora has suggested that lights be switched off for 8 minutes at 8 pm on 08 Aug 2008. Small beginning, but commendable nevertheless. (The timing will coincide with the commencement of the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, scheduled for 8:08:08 pm, on 08-08-2008)
