Earth Hour

Started as a way to create awareness on sustainable way of living and environmental consciousness by the 2.2 million people in Sydney now have become a global movement with more than 50 million people joining the cause. Though some might argue that by turning off any electrical appliances that's not necessary for just an hour might not make a big impact to damage that's already done to mother Earth but with just after 2 years... with more than millions of people from different walks of life and nationality joining the cause... its more about creating environmental awareness than just saving some money on the electricity bills.

With the target of 1 Billion people to join the cause today at 8.30 pm till 9.30 pm... they are hoping that with enough people joining their cause... so that they could urge the world leaders thats going to meet at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen for a much better and faster action against global warming compared to the Kyoto Protocol.

Let's join the cause and switch off all of our electrical stuff tonite... Let's hope the world leaders will come with a better solution to global warming... like maybe the use of renewable energy to generate electricity... cheaper and fuel efficient cars... more trees in the city... better public transportation to attract more people using them instead of driving... well.. we can always hope for the best...
