Earth Hour is a term to emphasize on the initiative for every individual or household to show their concern for our earth, where various pollution and global warming have constantly do much harm to its environment. The key of Earth Hour has always to encourage us to switch off our lights together from 8.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. It is the power of everyone and everywhere doing this act that can make a significant difference to helping our earth get a much-needed "rest".
This year Earth Hour's Theme also go for the extra mileage to encourage us not to take it for granted. We should continue this practice beyond the Earth Hour, meaning
- We shall exercise switching off lights every time we do not need it;
- Cultivate a good habit of switching off lights (and other switches) when necessary,
- Use of energy-saving lamps/light bulbs to cut down electricity
- Be alert and always check your premises to ensure switches are off when they are not in use/ when you are away.
I have show cause for the Earth Hour almost every year, hoping that anyone who happens to enter and read my blog would be supporting the cause together with me and others globally.
My last say is, there is only 365 days per year. Earth Hour is that only 1 Hour out of the appx. 8760 hours you will probably hear, see and sense people around you talking about the Earth Hour and doing the same act of switching off lights altogether. Why not we take an extra step in creating a more sustainable living in our daily lives? I believe this can be done.
