Earth Hour

Its Earth Hour happening.

Whats earth hour? its an hour where the whole country turn off their lights for an hour. well, not whole country actually, just those who supports this thingy. Its action to show against global warming, electricity consumption, save the earth kinda thing and so on so on....

Im really not sure if earth hour is successful in Singapore, but as far as i know, i got quite a few of emails from various organization including NUS and PGP office supporting this thing and asked us to turn off our lights for an hour. 

I didnt turn off my lights. I guess earth hour failed to make me turn off the lights..but more important i think earth hour made its point, raised the awareness among people that the fight has to go on. if this large scale events manage to convince people to turn off their lights the next time they walk out of their room, the next time they leave their home, then i think its successful. If the event made so many people made so much effort, sending extra sms to friends about it, using extra power to plan and prepare for events during that hour, and consume more before and after that 1 hour, i dont get what is the point to have people turn off lights for an hour and ignore the whole issue after this 1 hour. 

Some say just to make people feel better to use up more energy in the future because i "played" my part in saving energy, I TURNED OFF MY LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR!! 

I guess it did manage to change alot of people and tell people about the whole save energy thingy.
