Will you be switching off your lights for one hour today?  |
|
8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth. Saturday 28 March 2009
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. All you need to do it to switch off your power for 1 hour and VOTE for earth.
What do you think about this?
Do you think the media houses, multiplexes and corporate houses will do it? Do you really think this is will help?

1. alokn99 (2935) | 10 months ago | I certainly intend to Mimpi. The fact that i am out every Saturday at that time to pick up my Dad makes this task a lot easier for me. In any case, even if i was at home i would do it.
It's about coming together and expessing soildarity for a cause that i believe in. No point in just being vocal about it.
In reality how many will come out in support is a question indeed. A saturday night, people out in entertainment, will they really support it? I have my doubts and in a few hours we will know for sure.
It's what happens after this and how this event is used to transform people's thinking which will be important i feel. If it's going to become just another annual event, then i do not see much of change.

alokn99 (2935) | 10 months ago | I did it, but at the same time was very dismayed by what i saaw along the way Mimpi. None of the commercial establishments on the route i took had thier lights off. 95% of the houses had thier light on. Does it mean that the message did not get through enough or people just do not care?
And what did you observe?

mimpi1911 (8140) | 10 months ago | Sadly, that was the case here as well! Only a countable few observed that. I think, most did not know even. i made sure that my family do it but then i had to educate my parents. and coming to business centers people are least concerned!

3. GADHISUNU (1154) | 10 months ago | I will do it. The time slot has been decided as 2030 hrs to 2130 hrs. Let us join in every effort to save the earth, however small it might seem.
| |
| |
|
|
mimpi1911 (8140) | 10 months ago | Yes let's join for a cause..

GADHISUNU (1154) | 10 months ago | I did switch off our lights and every equipment by switching off the main breaker in my house. Luckily there are no emergency services like medical aid to sick people which need be kept ON. So, I could do my thousand-billionth to this cause. That gives me a lot of satisfaction. May be it is useful. May be it is not useful as people did not really join in sufficient numbers.My wife is a Clinical Psychologist, practicing from home based clinic. Her session was in progress. I had already informed of my decision to join in. She had also cooperated. More than the patients who had come aslo left concluding a session right before the time. They were also informed of the decision. Being not only educated but also responsive and sensible they appreciated our dedication to the cause. I hope the whole of Bnagalore joined in.I could not take a look as the whole time I was in meditation.

4. michaeldadona (3787) | 10 months ago | I HOPE THE 08:30PM IS AT GMT+8 Thanks for the great shares and I hope the referred time base on +8GMT(Greenwich Meridian Time) because today is Saturday~ March 28, 2009~ and now at my location GMT+8 is 07: 22PM. I believe that in the next one hour I am able to do it.
It helps or not, my self-believe is it does help. A little always next to enough just like a cent to a million. Without one cent it won't be a million. That's all way I can say about it, and it is my personal opinion anyway. An ant when already stayed in an elephant's ear can kills. I am very glad responding to your green campaign for today, yesterday I am in grateful participate in "Stop-Seal-Hunt".
Cheers! mimpi1911.
Signed a petition titled "Stop the Seal Hunt - 280,000 Signatures Needed" and thought you might want to sign it! You can find it at;

williamjisir (13191) | 10 months ago | Hello michael. Nice to see you here above my response in the same discussion. I clicked to watch the brutal killing of the poor seals. I am strongly against and cannot tolerate the cruelty. I hate their maltreating these lovely animals and wish more animal-loving people take actions to help protect them from being further killed. Thank you for the links, Michael, and have a good day, my dear friend.

mimpi1911 (8140) | 10 months ago | Michael I joined for the great cause a few days ago in my friend's post (Druscilla). Thanks for sharing this with us.

8. balasri (9542) | 10 months ago | Will it will definitely save millions of watts of energy and bring down the warmth by a small fraction.I like to do that provided my daughter studying for the annual exams is not disturbed.Or else I can keep one light and a fan for her and switch off the rest of the lights.I just feel like doing something.

mimpi1911 (8140) | 10 months ago | It was all about switching off non-essential lights. I am glad that you did it.

10. chunijole (2865) | 10 months ago | Yes, I can do it. I do see most of my neighborhood participating in the cause. I don't have anything important to watch on T.V. anyways. I could pass the time practicing for a blackout. I just talked with friends to pass the time.
