What is that? I don't know...Ha! That...Earth Hour?? What is that? I don't know...<BR/><BR/>Ha! That was before! Now, it will be the after.<BR/><BR/>AFTER:<BR/>I experienced Earth Hour that time. Hey, it was so exciting! Glowing in the dark... However, 1 hour passed so quickly. And the hour is "bye-bye".<BR/><BR/>My father actually was at Singapore at that time. Usually, he is at Indonesia, working of course! My father and I were watching TV, my mother... Hey! Why must I write so much?<BR/><BR/>I thought "Earth Hour" is a programme which don't allow people to turn on anything that uses electricity. I was wrong, totally wrong... That's dissapointing (of course!)! However, now I know that Earth Hour may allow people to turn on their lights, however, they're ENCOURAGING them to turn off any electrical objects that produces electricity.<BR/><BR/>My father made a great point. He says, in Chinese in addition to English and Indonesian Language, "Computers should not be allowed to be turned on, since it creates heat." Actually, everything should be turned off, so no heat is produced. Is it? Of course not! The air we exhale also produces heat. If people were to stop breathing, then during that very very short hour, many corpses may be found. Brrr...!<BR/><BR/>So, 5 hours before Earth Hour, my father suggested, "We will go for a walk, anywhere we like." Yes, the same thing, Chinese in addition to English and Indonesian Language. But, we did not go out, according to Paragraph 4, I... I'm not writing it!<BR/><BR/>So, next year, another experience on Earth Hour will start! So, keep it going, Earth!<BR/><BR/>That's all!Goldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18087676125141000408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-63930379459356253022009-03-30T10:28:00.000+08:002009-03-30T10:28:00.000+08:00Earth hour is an hour where everyone switches off ...Earth hour is an hour where everyone switches off their lights. It is held on 28th of March, this year, from 8.30p.m to 9.30p.m. I do not know what others did during the earth hour, but my family turned off all the lights when we visited my granny’s house and decorated it with candles. Wow! The whole place did look great! I think Earth is also facing other problems like global warming and deforestation. I think we could solve these problems by having a Earth hour every three months, perhaps? It would not help very much if it is one person doing that, but if the whole world is doing that, that would greatly solve the global warming problem! I hope that everyone will play a part in preventing global warming as this is our Earth!<BR/><BR/>CrystalMy Secret Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903677249566248618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-10791555270976779782009-03-30T10:15:00.000+08:002009-03-30T10:15:00.000+08:00Earth hour is an activity which electricity is cut...Earth hour is an activity which electricity is cut off for one hour.Earth hour is on 28 march 2009 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.people are organising it to save electricity.Everyone would be either outside or staying at home with a candle.I can go out and run.our country is facing global warming.Do not use too much candles.mufc Jenzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041479813771619278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-79349833755800341362009-03-25T13:14:00.000+08:002009-03-25T13:14:00.000+08:00Earth hour is an hour where we have to switch off ...Earth hour is an hour where we have to switch off our unused electric appliances.The next Earth Hour will take place on 28 february 2009,8.30p.m at local time.We do this to cut down the amount of electricity we use for that hour to show some respect to mother nature.When we cut down the electricity we use,we need less electricity.Thus,the power stations would not have to burn so many fossil fuels which will not have as much air pollution as before.I am taking part in the Earth Hour event.RichardWHC62https://www.blogger.com/profile/01369564795672761885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-20537192893007487902009-03-24T16:59:00.000+08:002009-03-24T16:59:00.000+08:00Earth Hour is held at 28 March 09 Saturday.

I can just you know, sit down and do nothing.:) Earth is also facing pollution, deforestation and extinction. We could try creating other materials to substitute the natural materials that are more than 70% environmentally-friendly. For example, instead of using paper we could use a portable whiteboard(the double-sided ones we have in school.) And a marker instead of paper and pencils which are made of wood. Or maybe having laptops instead!!!Laptops are environmentally-friendly in a way...(Except they use electricity which comes from fuels!!!)D!LlOnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688884018567176432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-88550004285422372632009-03-23T10:33:00.001+08:002009-03-23T10:33:00.001+08:00Earth Hour is to switch off the lights in our hous...Earth Hour is to switch off the lights in our house for one hour on a specific day.(This year:Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm)<BR/>To stop Global Warming from getting worse,everyone(including the old folks,children & adults)can do this simple task to save the Earth.If,we do not take action now,the Earth will be gone one day because of us,the humans.We(family & i) could eat fruits & chat in the dark...very wierd and funny.Or rest.The Earth is not only facing Global Warming but also Water Pollution,Financial Crisis & lots more.<BR/>Water Pollution:Throw litter in the rubbish bin.Try to stop ships from leaking oil.<BR/>~Gladys~『G』=Gl☆dys~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15867683413506860318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-58584183027929616082009-03-23T10:33:00.000+08:002009-03-23T10:33:00.000+08:00earth hour is an international event that takes pl...earth hour is an international event that takes place at the end of each march to think about the problem of wasted electicity .the whole world switch off thir lights for an hour on the 28th of march , 8.30pmPiglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241724767030142758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745340652750822432.post-10166146291099734692009-03-23T10:32:00.002+08:002009-03-23T10:32:00.002+08:00Earth Hour is an international event which takes p...Earth Hour is an international event which takes place at the end of March each year.
