Earth Hour

I wonder if it's too late to be writing a blog on this. Hopefully the last minute boost in promoting this worldwide event will help a little (if there is any :p). What's Earth Hour? Earth Hour 2009 has been made into a global election between Earth and Global warming. How do we vote? With our fingers on our light switches. To vote for Earth, we just need to turn off our lights for one hour. It may not be a big thing to do but imagine millions of people in the world keeping all their lights off for 1 hour. That's a lot of energy saved. To know more about Earth Hour please visit the website : http://www.earthhour.org/home/
It's interesting to note that this year's target is going to be 1 billion. Starting from a humble 2.2million in Australia and now only in the 3rd year, they're targeting to have 1 billion people join this program. I suppose the point in this isn't just switching off the lights for 1 hour and saving that 1 hour of energy. The fact that we're working together to clear the way for a more sustainable future brings everyone together towards one single objective; saving our planet. I wonder if it's viable to expand that hour into an Earth Day, where everyone really goes back to basics and not use any energy besides their own physical strength (not for lighting though). Well, to everyone and anyone reading this, let's all join fingers and switch off our lights this Saturday 28th March 2009 at 830pm for 1 hour.
