On 31st March 2007 Sydney claimed that they are the greatest contributor to global warming by turning off its lights for an hour. Over 2.2 million Sydney residents and over 2,100 businesses switched off, leading to a 10.2% energy reduction across the city.
This 29th March 2008, 8PM (Local Time), Earth Hour decided to repeat the same move. But this time is not only on Sydney, it goes globally. BUT the most important is 29th March is MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Wahahahahaha......
Below are some of the cities involved:
Aalborg » Aarhus » Adelaide » Atlanta » Bangkok » Brisbane » Canberra » Chicago » Christchurch » Copenhagen » Dublin » Manila » Melbourne » Montreal » Odense » Ottawa » Perth » Phoenix » San Francisco » Suva and Lautoka » Sydney » Tel Aviv » Toronto » Vancouver »
Sorry, Malaysia is not involved....Since this is an event which will held on local time and Malaysia is not involved, will you still do it? Oh yah, there is a counter on the website which counting how much time left to 29th Marh 8PM, perhaps we can follow that time since no party, organization or individual is going to chair this event.....hehehehe.....
So how much do you believe on this switching off the lights for an hour would help the global warming issue? I've read some comments on the above video on youtube. Some are quite supportive and some are not, below are some comments I quoted from there:
quoted from Acacyn:
"pure nonesense, there were always climate changes in the history of earth... yes! even without humans! this is just propaganda crap "
quoted from nabiul2:
"In a few billion years the sun will become so large that life will not be able to exist on earth. We need to worry more about getting off this rock before that happens, not trying to save it. THINK OF ALL THE FUTURE CHILDREN AND BUNNIES AND KITTENS THAT WILL DIE, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN, BELIEVE IN SOMETHING AND GO DO IT! *rolls eyes*I'm pretty sure terrorists believe in what they're doing. "
quoted from 39325dlee:
"i can't leave my computer alone for a whole hour. It will miss me, be mad and start freezing again. "
One might ask will I switch off my lights? hehehehe....I can't tell now, if you know where I live, pass by my house on 29th March 2008 8PM to see am I still watching Astro with my parents.....hmmmm....since 29th March is my big day....most probably I will not at home......hahahahaha.....Lets wait and SEE.....
