Earth Hour '09


Earth hour, an idea - a good one at that - that is supposed to bring awareness to the impending doom that is falling over our home planet. Its an whole hour that's 60 minutes, which is 3,600 seconds, a moment in time where we sit in the dark; bond with the family, protect the great earth. A whole hour doesn't sound great? Useful? Brilliant? Anyone who's anyone can go for a whole hour in the dark right? Not a hard task? What is a hard task is what happens after that hour is done, do you turn on your light and then go online to purchase your brand new hybrid vehicle? do you sort through every garbage in your house and recycle each plastic, paper and glass thing you see? Most people probably not but hey they turned their lights off for a whole hour that means they did their share right? That's how it works right? Yea Earth hour is a great idea but i think more should be put behind it, because its so much more than turning off lights for an hour its to show the effort to do something ELSE good for the earth too. Even if its riding your bike to work or school for one day or opening a window instead of putting on the a/c. Its just that little bit more motivation to do something ELSE good.
