Earth Hour

On March 21 last year, the Australian city of Sydney saw its energy consumption drop by 10.2 percent. This was achieved through a single act: more than 2,100 business establishments and over 2.2 million city residents switched off lights in offices and households to emphasize that coal-fired electricity was the biggest cause of global warming. A year later, 24 cities around the world are participating in Earth Hour, which Filipinos marked at 8 pm tonight by switching off lights for an hour. The message is that every little step counts in dealing with global warming. Breaking habits that are taken for granted can go a long way.

Love Mother Earth, she is the only one we have.
