Earth Hour 2009

CLICK HERE !! AND SIGN UP TO SUPPORT THE EVENT!!

This is a very meaningful event for all of us in all over the world. It's not just a simple "Light's Off" campaign. It's to get people attention about the awareness of the global warming.

Many people may said : "Aiyo, this campaign just only off the lights for one hour not enough lar, why don't they make up with off the electricity for one hour? or off the lights with 3-4 hours? One hour doesn't make sense la."

Actually it's good if you can do it. BUT if this event have started with off the electricity or lights with 3-4 hours, will you follow it?? Try to ask yourself. Especially for those big company, it's hard to fulfill these ''difficulties" as we said. Everything should be started from "small", especially for these kind of big project that needed many people to participate. The importance of this campaign is to enhance the awareness of the global warming for the people in all over the world. Start from this very lil' attitude --"Switch off your NON-ESSENTIAL lights for only an hour". If everybody can do it in everyday, that will be great to avoid global warming happens.


Some people also may ask: "Why is turning off the LIGHTS ??"

As I know, turning off the lights can reduce the emissions of CO2( Carbon Dioxide).

Scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a "greenhouse effect" which affects the planet's temperature. These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. They found that the gas plays a crucial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future.

This kind of "Crucial gas" is the main "component" for the Greenhouse Effect.
