Earth Hour

Did you switch off the lights Yesterday?

Earth Hour was took place on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, local time. 82 countries and more than 2100 cities are committed to 'Earth Hour 2009', a huge increase from people participating in 35 countries for Earth Hour 2008.

I just got back from Sunway Pyramid, and the time was just right 8.30pm+. Went for some groceries from Jusco, and the lights were switching one by one, thought they are participating on this event too. Who knows it's a technician problem *sigh

Once I stepped out from Sunway Pyramid, I was kinda have different feelings. Outside were dark, and people are holding those tiny aluminum sealed candles, everywhere even the pubs and restaurants. Some bunch of youngsters, they were playing with the glowing sticks, and it wasn't just one holding one glowing sticks, plenty on their body!

The objective of having this 'Earth Hour' is to conserve nature and sources to reduce the carbon footprint. So I myself thinking, how doo candles and glowing sticks are made off? Does it contribute much to the Global Warming, issue that everyone talks about these days. It came through my mind speedly.

You see, candles are made of wax, and ofcourse it has to be some chemical form inside, and the process of making it in the factory sure will bring impact to the Global Warming. Then what happened if you lighten up the candles? HEAT! 1 person lighten up 1 candles contribute a certain percentage to GW, and how if hundreds, thousand, millions people lighten up the candles? I don't want to talk about glowing sticks, i bet everyone knows how it made.

I mean, comon' la people, you don't practising these everyday, and it's just a small favor by asking you to switch off the lights for 1 hour, but at the end you go do other stuff which are not helping it at all.

If they say switch of the lights, JUST BE IT LAR!

WHY PLAY FUNNY FUNNY THINGS ?!
