60 Earth Hour? Bullshit !!
Saturday, 28 March 2009
60 Earth Hour needs no introduction.So now what’s the hype?
I will lead my normal life this 28th March, i will turn on and off the lights as usual, if needed i will turn on more lights. I have my reasons.
I must say that this project is a great head start in educating people on how important for us to conserve all resources but what is more important is the 8759 hours before and after 60 Earth Hours.
What impact does it bring by saving 1 hour of electricity? Big impact but surely its not good or big enough. Never will !
Before you get so excited(unnecessarily) with 60 Earth Hours, ask yourself..
1. How often do you leave your mobile charger on even after you have to removed your mobile phone?
2. How often you leave for your teh tarik session with your room lights / fan/ air-con on?
3. When was the last time you turn off your office lights (if you are able to do so) when you leave for lunch / meetings?
4.How many hours do you think you left your TV on for the mini creatures (insect) or worst stil no one in your hall to watch per week?
5. When was the last time you left your toilet light on after doing what you need to do in there?
The list of questions can go on, i am guilty of some, but i know i m doing all i can everyday to conserve electricity, water or anything that is shared by you and me.
I just hope that everyone in Facebook who invited me to join this campaign, everyone damn politician, every corporate citizens, every NGO, every government agencies, everyone and everybody continues to champion this cause even after 9.30pm tomorrow else it is just pure bullshit. It’s a continuous effort, just like you don’t live in this world for an hour.
60 Earth Hours is meaningless if we stop there. Remember it’s not a celebration, it’s not a party, it’s not a commercial or money making effort, it’s a beginning of something infinity. 60 Earth Hours is a journey not a destination.
60 Earth Hours started long ago in me and will last as long as i live, hope the same goes to you.
Love Mother Nature like how you would love your mama.

I used this opportunity to educate my parents
Good start but efforts should not end here. I don’t understand why we need to sign up. To make Malaysia’s statistics look nice? Now, that’s really bullshit.
