It has become an annual event for me to follow for the last three years, and it requires such a simple act. Turn off the lights for one hour. Not much sacrifice, if you ask me. What's an hour to give back? Earth has given us so much more. It's phenomenal to watch for me. I love lights in the dark, but seeing it all turned off at the same time for a cause is even more amazing.

A little bit of history, Earth Hour was initiated in Sydney, Australia in 2007 as an act for people to take a stand against climate change. It has become a global voluntary cause since. The gesture it requires is so simple, but the message is so resounding.
We were out in the restaurant during Earth Hour pero pasaway ang restaurant na napuntahan namin, di pinatay ang ilaw haha
ReplyDeleteTalaga, sis? Walang pinatay kahit isa? Ayos lang kasi na wag pataying yung necessary lights, pero yung signage at yung ibang incandescent mostly pinapatay. Kaya yang Glorietta 5, walang naka-on na signage. Pasaway naman yung resto na yun. Boo!
ReplyDeleteDito sa bahay pasaway ang mga kahousemates ko. Full blast pa na nagmovie marathon even though I reminded them that it's earth hour. Well, dun na lang ako sa kwarto nag-off ng lights.
ReplyDelete@Pink: Ngorks. At least kahit ikaw lang, naka-participate ka. :)
ReplyDeletePareho tayo 3 years na rin namin tong ginagawa.
ReplyDelete@anntuten: Hindi naman mahirap, diba? Ang challenge na siguro talaga ngayon is to go beyond the hour. :)
