Earth Hour took place at night with the message "Turn off the lights 60 minutes - 365 days of action for climate change. " Unknown the effects of Earth Hour, but how soon after the program ends, see rubbish everywhere, from bottles, water bottles, plastic bags to raincoats, food ... The workers had to clean up this garbage, what should those individuals participating in the program to the trash themselves when not in use. What do you think about these images?

It's very hard to discipline adults. That's why I like to work with children a lot. Kids tend to listen to you when you tell them not to do this and not to do that. That is why, it is important to inculcate the importance of recycling and care for the environment in young children so that as they grow older they become mindful of this fact and will be able to adopt an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Everyone should be doing their part to save our Earth. After all, it is the only home we have.

Right. It's difficult if we want to control adults. They'll do the best thing or not is depend on their thoughts. I'm very sad when I saw this image. I like the event Earth hour. I don't want it will become an occasion only for entertainment.

I guess everyone should consider every day as Earth Day, not just once a year. I know exactly how you feel. Every time I also see people throwing rubbish out from their car. I just feel that these people are not educated people and just don't care about what is happening around the world, but only care for themselves. Such a disappointment. Anyway, thanks for the BR.

Where did this happen? How can it be that people who are willing to sit without lights for Earth one hour can, at the same time, litter so much. If I were the head of the show, I´d go check before I let anyone out.
