Earth Hour 2009

It's something new to me, and so I tried reading about it. And apparently with what is on their Website, which is called Earth Hour. And I discovered how this is to them is kind of not what I thought. To the Earth Hour, 'Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.' (Earth Hour, 2009)

Anyway, just in case you didn't know about this.. Let me simplify the action.. Earth Hour is about switching off and avoid using electricity for an hour during the "Earth Hour", which happens to be 28 March 2009 this year's. It started in 2007 in Sydney, which had a response of 2.2 millions from homes and businesses. And this year, the Earth Hour is looking at a scale of 1 billion as a part of "global vote".

Oh, and one more thing, instead of using electricity, you can either idle at home in darkness and go to bed earlier than usual, of lighting candle and be inconvenient.. Or, head down to Botanical Gardens at Botany Centre to have a Picnic at 2.00 and Esplanade Park at 5-9.30pm with a beeswax candle and picnic rag and food basket! LOL.. Sounds real fun yeah? First time in Singapore, we are all going to be caught in the dark where every inch of the city will not be seen.

Hmm.. sounds like an idea, but then again, what does that means? The World may say global warning is happening, but is really just an hour in 1-2 years going to make a difference to the future? It may of course slow down the process, but what can be done with slowing down the process when everywhere around the World we uses motor vehicles and lights, and some even worst to be caught smoking contributing to both environmental issues and human issues.

The way things are now is pretty unstoppable with two opposing forces. The against and the towards.. And as for me, probably I am a neutral, which is not a surprise to me if neutral has the most portions of the populations. But oh well, I am not going to be at home anyway tonight.. Hahaha. I would be in fact already out of my house around 5.40pm for my Dragon boat Team gathering somewhere in someone's condo function hall.

Probably going to club later in the night as well.. But then, if the 8.30-9.30pm is going to be happening, I suppose it is one big thing that I will not missed out at any parts of Singapore yeah.. Probably walk in the dark later in the deep night. And hopefully without bombings and terrorism activities going on. =D Get busy now.. Tata~
