Earth Hour

If the heat continues, it'll be very difficult to support Earth Hour, especially since this year, I have a baby to keep cool. :stupid:

can support la, schellen. Earth hour is at night. Think of your baby's future and you'll do the right thing even if it's just for an hour.

I would definitely support. My DS was looking forward to it last year and kept reminding the whole family that we should turn off all unnecessary power points.


Alas…he was very disappointed when things didn’t turn out as planned…as my sister in law called for a birthday party for her boy that night…and all sorts of electrical applicances were on that moment at her house!!

Yes, KingRascal. It'll be fun for the kids. Maybe can get yours to count how many households have their lights off and see if there's improvement for next year. And resist the urge to drive off somewhere with lights/air-con. It defeats the purpose. We were guilty of that 2 years ago. :oops:

Good idea. That would be quite fun as he would move around instead of trying to find things to do in the dark house!

heehee tankee, you gave her a big hint. I was thinking of it but didnt wanna pressurise her.

i think it's still better than some people i know who use the air-con the whole night, every night. at least sashimi will help me to switch it off before he goes to bed and set the fan timer for me after that.

ya, have been using fan only for past few nights. but sometimes, when the timer goes off, i will be awakened by a fidgeting baby in half-asleep mode. then, i must quickly turn the fan on again to prevent her from waking up prematurely.
