Earth Hour

EARTH HOUR -- This environmental event was started in Sydney, Australia in 2007, Earth Hour quickly grew into a global observance. More than 1,000 cities in over 80 countries observed Earth Hour 2009 on Saturday March 28th, as homes, office towers and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour starting at 8.30 pm local time to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions.

I also joined this Earth Hour myself .. sitting in the dark for 1 hour with stillness and listening to the wind blows, it was very peaceful. Though, thoughout my neighbourhood, my house was the only one that stood in the dark, while the others didn't seem to care. It sad how ignorance people can be, it's just for 1 hour .. how hard could it be? But oh well, one is better than nothing at all. 改變世界 改變自己!!

Australia was the first country to go through with the Earth Hour, this is what we saw at the Sydney Opera House

The famous Beijing Olympic's Landmark - Bird Nest and Water Cube

I wish this event can be a monthly instead of yearly .. people should be more aware of what's happening around the world. The world is no longer in safe condition, so smallest action will help to save the world.

So everyone .. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. You can save the world!
