<![CDATA[Earth Hour]]>Earth hour is on again this Sat from 8:30pm till 9:30pm.


Last year, we switched off all the lights, but drove to a nearby mall for dinner. Defeats the purpose really.

With so much alarming news about global warming, rising sea levels and a very sick mother earth, we decided to be serious about showing our support.

So for that 1 hour, we’ll switch off all lights, mobiles, modems, fridge, TVs etc. Yes, we’re going all the way to make up for our foolishness last year.

Any suggestions on what to do during that hour? Perhaps we’ll spend the hour chatting/bonding with the stressed-up kids.

The children got to make kites and candles before 8.30pm. Between 8.30pm to 9.30pm, lights off at the fountain area, they sat down to watch a documentary.


I went shopping during the time. Metro was having 20% discount for members and UOB cards holders, also additional 50 cents off if you did not take the plastic bag. :love:

When we reached home about 10pm, we decided to go beyond the earth hour for another 30 minutes till 10.30pm. πŸ˜„

Something different for everyone for a special two hour.

What must we do on this Sat ??? :roll:

You can join in the fun @ Marina Bay

Most of the buildings will have dimmed lights / or blackouts, so the view may be a different one than the other nights .

Don't despair mathsparks, we participated by going out for dinner at that time, so everything was off in the house and we used the public facilities during that hour. :celebrate:


Your efforts were not wasted.

Also never logon to KSP using iphone.. πŸ˜‰

They switch off about 50% of the lights, except e stalls lights. Out of curiosity on how Nat Geo would support such event, we went down to have a look. Its dark dark!! They claimed off 50% of lights but i guess should be more. All the LCD tvs are off too. For us, we contributed by not at home. Hee hee


hubby was saying, there should be a campagne on no car for 1 hr :lol:

Did not on any aircon but 1 fan in the living room. :oops:

My girl cannot survive without a fan. When I told her \"Earth Hour\" meant no fan, too, she said \"no fan, never mind\". :!: I was so surprised with her enthusiasm.

My boy kept nagging at us when our lights were still on at 8.31 pm.

Since the kids were so on, we had better switch off the lights, etc. So, it was total darkness for us at home. We looked out of the window to \"admire\" the scenary. πŸ˜‰

mathsparks:

I cant help but deduce that not many people share our enthusiasm to do something, no matter how small, to signal our commitment to mother earth.

No worries, Rome wasnt built in a day. We'll continue to convince others whenever we can.
:celebrate: to your enthusiasm n effort put in,
however small or insignificant.

When will we ever learn?
till every tree is chopped down?
till all the fishes have died?
till all the animals have perished?
till our children's children know not the warmth of cuddling a puppy or a kitten?
till the sky has turned perpetually grey?
till we can no longer drink straight from the rivers n lakes?
when will we ever learn?
