EarthHour 2011

The annual Earth Hour will occur today, 26 March 2011 at 8.30 p.m, all over the globe. Themed "It's time to go beyond the hour", it encourages everyone to switch of your lights even after the so-called "Earth Hour".
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

1. We shall exercise switching off lights every time we do not need it;
2. Cultivate a good habit of switching off lights (and other switches) when necessary,
3. Use of energy-saving lamps/light bulbs to cut down electricity
4. 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.

60 Earth Hours 2009

A symbolic iniative to fight against climate change, The Earth Hour is back this year. Till then, already 2712 cities, towns and municipalies in 83 countries have committed to support this iniative.

The objective of the Earth Hour is to reduce carbon (dioxide)emissions. And the most basic way was thought to be switching off the lights and appliances to lower consumption of electricity which in turn reduce the carbon emissions.

In real life, it's more than electricity alone. One can reduce their carbon footprints by doing alot. For instance, if everyone saves themselves from smoking cigarettes in a day, that would mean alot. What else? Share your opinion in the comment field!

The Earth Hour will take place on Saturday, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm (+8 hr NST). Make an effort to refrain from 'negative' things you are usually doing. Think awhile before you decide on doing certain especially during Earth Hour. Ultimately, you may not know the outcome but at least you know you have done your best!

To show my care and concern for the earth, I did many things like reuse, reduce and recycle.



You can also help to save the earth by taking public transport like what I did. Between, there was a little fault on the Mrt train this morning. The door did not open at Kranji and the passengers who wanted to alight have to travel to Yew Tee and then reverse back to Kranji. This is bad as you all know the distance and time to travel to and fro between the 2 stations. It was raining then and it might be the cause of technical problems encountered by the train.

For the sake of our planet and our future, we should really put in effort to reduce, reuse and recycle our materials. Every effort put in to do these will end up with lesser rubbish that is gone into the incineration plant and landfill. We have to stop the pollution. Otherwise, our planet is going to burn. We will not only feel the intense temperature around the globe, but also get sick and come across many unimaginable consequences.
