Right Malatians,

Let's do our bit....

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

About Earth Hour Malaysia

Earth Hour in Malaysia is planned and run by WWF-Malaysia and its partners. We welcome all parties to participate in Earth Hour on the 28th of March 2009 by turning off your lights for one hour from 8.30pm-9.30pm. If you would like to sponsor or be more involved in Earth Hour, contact us at: araj @ wwf.org.my or call +6037803 3772

What should we do ???

1. On the 28th March 2009, at 8.30 pm, turn off as many lights as possible, and turn off all un neccessary electric items as many as possible, till 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"

3. It shows how much you care for the environment

My 2 cents...

I'm not sure if I am right on this. Question

I have read and watchd in DiscoveryMagazine & on documentary channel that UNUSED ELECTRICITY can never be stored. I have just recently seen this statement on discovery channel about 2 weeks ago during a programme which they show how Las Vegas is powered by various sources of Power Plants. In the show it was mentioned that the UNUSED ELECTRICITY is channeled to the US Power Grid to other states for usage because the generated power can never be saved.

So when there is a sudden drop in Power Usage, where does all the unused electricity go to in our country?? Hmm... Confused

Earth Hour is a valiant effort to create a lasting impression to get us to be aware of our dwindling environment. Btw, I supported Earth Hour too! Wink
