Vote Earth!

I'm just one person, what can i do about global warming?
No, you can now.

What is that?
Earth Hour 2009 is 8:30–9:30 March 28 2009. Currently, 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. 1 billion 'votes' is the stated aim for Earth Hour 2009 in the context of the pivotal 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference.

What can you do?
Turn off all non-essential lights. If you’re at home, off all the lights for just an hour. Play hide and seek, have a BBQ dinner outside the house, have a campfire, take a night walk outside, go drinking with buddies in the dark(could be fun!). Be creative, just turn off the lights for an hour. You could also all go to a friends house and stay there so that you can reduce energy. Or switch on all the lights and see how long it takes before someone knocks on your door! Come to think about it, it is not that long, just an hour.

All these, just for an hour?
Not really. Earth hour is just an exercise for everyone to realize that one by one, we can make a difference. We should not just rely on the authorities to save the world, we too can make a difference.

Some tips:

• Each day, off all non-essential lights. Like for example, if your house have ample of windows, open the curtains and let natural light come in during the day. Like that, we can save the energy from the light.
• If you’re on a laptop, try to use the battery first and only charge it when necessary. Try not to leave the adaptor on the laptop for a long time. This could spoil your laptop and also you could save energy.
