Greetings, everyone. To me, Earth hour is a very priceless hour in which saves the Earth (for one hour). What I mean is, by switching off the lights during Earth hour, we can save more electricity for that one hour (not ust because of money). But if we cut down our usage on electrcity,every single day, then the Earth will not 'suffer' from Global Warming and thus, we will not get 'BBQed'. (I mean, hello? It's just like bakin' everyone out there...)
Earth hour is held on the 28th March this year, from 8.30 pm - 9.30 pm.
Organising this event will let people understand the importance of Earth, and how it will be like without lights. It also encourgaes all to cut down the amount of electricity we use everyday.
I joined in this event, but technically, only for 10minutes. I went Orchard to shop that night. I reached home only about 9. 20pm. But I was the very-scared-I-would-fall-in-the-dark type (or simply, I'm the afraid-of-the-dark type), so I used the mini torch I bought for camping last year. I really really can't see a thing. I was watching television after I bathe. I was thinking, the electricity I saved just now, is wasted. I'm using it for the television. Oops! Didn't knew that!
Earth is now facing its most dangerous sickness, Global Warming. Global Warming is caused by too much of burning, resulting the layer of air protecting Earth to wear out. Global Warming is also caused by too much of cutting down of trees. Trees help to give out air we need for breathing and other purposes. Thus, if we cut too many of them down, Earth will die... (Oh no!)
We can prevent Global Warming by recycling our items and not using too much of plastic bags. (They look so aunty anyway... Haha... No offence...) The 3Rs. Reuse, reduce and recycle! Yeah!
~PROTECT EARTH! NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!~
