Earth Hour

[mathsparks]

So we took a walk during earth hour, and counted abt 159 houses with lights on and 194 without. That’s a 55% participation rate. Not bad, but I guess also because some folks were out since it’s Sat night.


At Ocean Park, I noticed about 75% participated while at the point blks near Ngee Ann Pri, only about 50%.

Perhaps in time, more awareness is created thru this event and people are more conscious of the need to conserve our resources.

Anyone to share what they did during that 1 hour?

We participated in Earth Hour. Turned off all lights and had lit candles around the house. Kids also took their evening showers in candle light. :imanangel:

Yes, they did enjoy the experience and it made them more aware too. To while away the time, both girls called grandma and chatted with her. So it was family bonding time too.

Can't go lights out totally. Will use less electricity tmr night coz my dad (80yr) is staying w/me. Can't see well, needs a few lights for him to move ard the house. I have to leave the night light on even when he's sleeping, just in case he needs to use the toilet.

Pls spare me the punishment.

Luv the spanking emoticon - kinda cute. Nevermind la, backside only. Nowadays can see quite a lot - girls with short/tight tees w/low waist jeans (aunties also have) :!:

Totally understand yr situation, no probs. jokg nia.

I auntie also wear low waist jeans..more comfy leh, when I need to sit down..I look for seats with back rest or against the wall..to avoid accidental exposure and ppl puking on their food. :sick:

But with all your running and climbing stairs, am sure u have a runner's bod. i'd wear hot jeans too if i exercise more regularly.

Anyway, must say that your exercise regime and Funz's healthy eating habits have rubbed off on me. Am starting to exercise and trying to eat more healthily too. :dancing:

So thanks for being such an inspiration!! :lol:
