Earth Hour 2009 aims to reach more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, inviting communities, business and governments to switch off light on 8.30 p.m. at Saturday night, 28 March 2009.
So do I, who stay in student hostel in Shah Alam, Malaysia. However, what can I do in one hour without light? By the way, I have to continue my homework. So I switch off everything except my table lamp.
In my opinion, we do not save energy only on earth hour, but also in everyday life. Although it will save a lot of energy for everyone in the world to switch off the light though for just only an hour, that is only in short term only.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 (Bernama) -- Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has assured the public that electricity supply would not be switched off during the worldwide event, Earth Hour, this Saturday.
Without electricity, our life will be in great difficulties. Imagine if TNB were to switch off the electric supply in whole Malaysia, the police computer systems would not be able to function, telecommunication will stop functioning and crime will be everywhere.
After all, Earth Hour is more to dimming light than completely switching off the light. The act of dimming light is to show about commitment to reduce energy consumption throughout the year.
