WWF urges the world to participate in restoration of our natural habitat known also as the earth. All that is required is just an hour of a world without lights from energy users but many fail to succumb to this noble pact of preservation. It is to encourage people to cut energy use and curb greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. We are relying on fossil fuels to source out energy and the lights uses most energy through out the world. By generating fuels from fossils we're creating a green house effect.
It is understood if hospitals keep their lights on to preserve lives of millions of patients or firemen keep their lights on in case of emergencies. Yet, shopping malls, hotels and a lot of landed properties do not seem to play a role at all. I bet many do not know the reason behind switching off the lights.
Our government just have it advertise in newspapers, tv and the internet hoping that we will come to an understanding but many fail to realise that there are illiterate people in our society. Imagine asking an old aunty to switch off her lights and she replied "earth hour?" "Isn't earth 24 hours?"
A long stretch of houses kept their lights on without understanding the true impact that it does to Earth because of their ignorance. Who is to be blame? World Wide Foundation? the nature lovers? or our government and our media for not highlighting the motive of switching off the lights clearly? or is it the fault of us as the people for not clarifying with the media?
However, there are some culprits who do understand but refuse to compromise without realising if our earth couldn't take it any longer and perishes like any other missing planets before, it is too late to cry out regrets. These are the people who are narrow minded knowing there
are other planets billions of lightyears away but continue living in denial as if the world revolves around Earth alone.
Science and history has proven apart from the planets that are available today, there were signs of other planets long ago that were destroyed by unnatural causes. It is a big joke to see cars and motorcyclist switching off their lamps while driving around in town instead of houses switching off their lights. The idea of the lightless one hour is all messed up!
Here we are, trying our very best to rescue earth , to keep us alive for a longer life span, and look around us. Illegal motor races, under-age kids riding a bike without a license, doing a stunt believe to be the Superman { lying down forward while riding a motorcycle with legs off the paddle , facing backwards as if they are flying.}
