What is EARTH HOUR?
Every day, we read, listen, or pass by posters that promotes environmental awareness, and lately, the global warming issues is widely discussed. However, I have heard friends that says, "argh... there's nothing much we could do, its polutted as it is, and it has been warmed since long time... there nothing much we could do about it..." or "if I save a few plastics bags, and others dont, there's no point... so forget it..." Arghh too many negative coments right? Thats shat I heard from poeple around me...
Do you notice the extreme changes of our weather nowadays? It was a spanking bright sunny day in the afternoon, but all of a sudden... the storm and rain came in the evening... sounds familiar right? 10 years ago, monsoon are well predicted, and we could easily plan our holiday to the East Coast... but 2-3 years lately... the monsoon are unpredictable... this is also veryyy familiar right? And flood... it flood every where nowadays... This are all called 'extreme climate change' and it is the result of global warming.
But now, the time has arrive, for us, as a person helped the earth in this global warming issue. Earth hour is a symbol that the whole world could stand up together to save the earth.. many countries has done this last year, 31 March 2008, (you can google about it) and this year, in Malaysia it will happen on the 28th of March, at 8.30 pm - 9.30 pm

2. Please spread this out to every one you know... please help me do this... I love our environment... We are not doing this for us, but also for our children and ancesstors... we can make it happen, together.
How might this help?
1. With every body switching off at the same hour, millions of voltage could be saved... just google up the figures Bangkok, Sydney and San Francisco saved last year;
2. It gives an impact to every one in the whole world, an awareness that if every one take one tiny role, we could save the world... there'll be no more "if i'm alone in this... there's nothing much could be done"; and
3. It shows how much you care for the environment.
