Earth Hour ended just a few moments ago. Everyone was invited to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 pm, as a way of voting for Earth against global warming. To increase awareness about the damages global warming has done to our planet. Thank you to all those who turned off their lights, who supported this little way of showing that the Earth is worth saving. To those who didn’t, and sadly, there are those who didn’t, well, i feel really sorry for you guys. You were given an opportunity to show how much living on our planet meant to you, it was just one hour and you couldn’t spare it. Oh, well, there are just some people who don’t care. The Earth is already dying, already loosing the luster it once had, everything changed because of us. Some of us could say that it wasn’t our fault, but every single one of us contributes to it, whether we are aware of that or not. That’s why, we, the people of this planet, are asked to try to do, even little things to help Earth. Like the simple turning off of our lights. Wasn’t it just a simple task? But other people just couldn’t risk not being able to see light, even just for an hour. But, I have a problem with that. Why is it only one hour? I mean, it’s good that we support Earth Hour, but why only one? Why is it that people only do something to help our planet when everybody else does it? Why can’t we have Earth Hours instead of just one Earth Hour? Why can’t we grab every single opportunity we can to help our planet. You might say it’s hard. You might say “hey, i can’t stop CO2 from building up in the atmosphere”. Well, you can, if we try to lessen the use of things that have CO2 or ways that populate CO2, that alone already, in it’s little way, helps. Why don’t we use paper or reusable bags instead of plastic? Why do we have to use disposable items when we can use biodegradable and reusable ones? Some of these things are really simple but we can’t seem to be able to do it and I don’t understand why that is? Oh, well, I just hope that today’s Earth Hour was able to raise awareness to people about how serious the situation happening to our planet is. Try to think of the Earth as a big shopping mall or supermarket, if it runs out of clothes or products, well, can you shop anywhere else? Our Earth is the only living planet, the only planet that is suitable for us to live in. Help it. Save it.
Watch out for the 11th Hour on HBO this coming April 22, Wed, 9 pm or try to watch other documentaries to be able to learn more about global warming, its effects and why the Earth is worth saving.
