Earth Hour


SOME activists are busying with urging world's citizen to participate in tomorrow's Earth Hour celebration. The whole world is expected to participate for one hour long celebration. The task is simple, just switch off the light at your room/house/office. The timing is 8:30pm to 9:30pm. The environmental activists want to give message to the world's leader how badly our earth has gone due to carelessness of people. Regardless of reason, it's undeniable to tell our world is sick. Some scientists even said world's environmental condition is irreversible by people's effort few days ago. Meaning, the problem has been beyond recoverable. It's alarming as we can't stay away from our planet. It is our home and we are apparently spoiling our home with or without noticing.

I think we all should take part in this goodwill celebration. We shouldn't give any reason for failing to do so as it will take us an hour only. For the cumulative offense we have committed on our earth, we should give one hour as a penalty. Some are preparing for mini-party among family members and friends under candle-light. My country authority are not late to response towards good activities like Earth Hour. Our ministry of energy announced one statement yesterday to its people that the public in biggest city will get electricity 6 hours rotation basic effective from April-2. What a good practice is it to save our earth? In fact, our people automatically know that they're going to face block-out more frequently in summer by citing summer that cannot provide water to our hydroelectric power dams. We are very used to see electricity to come and out without prior notice even in the biggest city. Most of villages and some cities are still relying on their own mean of getting electricity or replacement methods.

Our country is top 10 nation who export natural gas to the world particularly to Thailand & China. But our people are stay living under moonlight at large. Our students are still relying on candle-light to sturdy at night. Everywhere, we can see hydroelectric power stations. But all production are sold out to neighboring countries. There are hundred power projects on the blue-print which are also intended to export. Meanwhile, our people from border are paying money to foreign firms for importing electricity from them. What a mess is it? I don't know what our MPs are doing in the parliament. They should have started the benefit of our own people since they are elected by people. Despite they always shouted that they are civilian government and represent people's desire, the act are still remain unchanged to favor their own benefit.

Anyway, lets celebrate earth hour tomorrow night. If it's our duty to save our own business, I am sure it's also our responsibility to participate in saving our unhealthy earth. May our earth able to recover soonest possible. May the world leaders able to find some ways to reduce carbon print. May our world citizen able to live in the better and healthier world.
