Let Us Do Our Part For Mother Earth

2 years ago

The United Nations will observe "Earth Hour" on Saturday at its Headquarters in New York and other facilities around the world, to show its continuing commitment to action on climate change.

Earth Hour, promoted by WWF, the global conservation organisation, has kindly requested people and organisations to turn off their lights for one hour on Saturday night between 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time (26/27 March wherever you may be.

Did you observe this practice last year? I did not. We propose to start this year in 2010. We want to do our bit to save Mother Earth. So its everything off and we should be sitting out on the verandah for 60 minutes to enjoy life in its natural quietness.

Would you be observing Earth Hour? blink

Well,,it's good to conserve energy and we should try to do our part to save our earth. I did not observe the Earth Hour last year. I have observed Earth Hour this time around and Saturday I've turned out the lights for about 2 hours.
It is essential to do all we can for climate change. It will be good to do this practice more often. I've started to turn off lights whenever I'm not in a room rather than have the lights on all the time. It's a good way to save electricity.

Yes, at the appointed time of 8.30pm Malaysian time, we off all our lights. However, our uncooperative neighbours continued to light up and are generally unsupportive of thsi global effort. I think so are ignorant. But the city shut down. The scenes of before the 8.30 time and after that showed a darkened Kuala Lumpur. The only downside were the mosquitoes took time to bite all of us in the darkness of 60 minutes! thumbdown

It was great to know that many corporations did their part as well. The Petronas Twin Towers went into complete darkness at 8.30 sharp. Many other establishments such as supermarkets dimmed their lights as well as PA system and unnecessary lights.
One good example is the Carrefour hypermarket outlets in Singapore and Malaysia. Bravo to them!

However, there were adverse comments lashed against establishments in Malaysia who did not even bother to cooperate.They just ignore the campaign and their lights were shining as bright as any other days. Shame on them! sorry
