Earth Hour 2009

Oh man, no another Earth Hour post from a different blog, you might say. Hahahaha!

Anyway, with all this Earth Hour thing going on, here's my say regarding about this "event".

For me, i think Earth Hour is just nothing big. I firstly saw Earth Hour, probably last year at some of my friends blog, back then i didnt really bother to do it, and same goes to this year. I was talking to my friend few nights ago, and he told me, how he's going to switch off his lights and everything, and be proud of it. Most of the points he got, is either from the papers, or radio.

My points are, firstly the world is polluted! NO such thing 1 hour "light-offing" would reduce the global warming, as much as they claim (5%). IF even it can be reduced, you hardly even know the differentslah. You see, global warming is not entirely caused by light bulbs or energy consumption. Green house effects, CFC and logging (if that is what they call pembalakan in English), are some of the sources which causes global warming.

To cut my story short, i dont think one hour (bear in mind, not one DAY) would do anything difference. Also, i think some people do it, because they want to be IN "it". Probably they don't even know what is Earth Hour all about. Worst of all, some people might even be hoping after they switched off their lights, and the next afternoon when they head out to somewhere, they wont feel a thing, because the "warming" has been reduced. Some blogs which i read, the blogger mentioned it as gimmick, but i wouldnt want to put it as gimmick, because i do know they are sincere, but i would say that this thing wont work, and it's just hopeless.

Have you ever went to big companies and see how they on their lights and computers, when at night when no one is using? How companies will use A4 sizes papers like crazy for fax and printing, and when it's finish, they open up a new pack and refill it again, instead of turning the old papers back and print on them. Last time, during the petrol price was RM2.70, people said they WONT be using their cars, yet they still use their cars, and look at the jam they caused. Some car company came out with the so called enviromently friendly car, but it's not so wallet friendly. People around the world (and also the people who's staying next to my house), who burns rubbish openly next to my house (did i mentioned, they threw the rubbish at a place you're not supposed to throw). With so many cars on the road, so is many car waste, black oil. Where do you think they throw away the black oil? When you enter a restaurant, while you're eating, the people around you smokes their ciggarate, and and the smoke pierces through your nose. You want to change your place, but you wont, am i right? You'll still sit there, and just continue to inhale all those smokes.

Me-lvin

P.S. Anyway, the world is going to be doomed, so why bother. . .
