This won't be difficult for me as I really do not like lights on at night when I am at home. I prefer to conserve energy and since I easily perspire, all the better to be in darkness for a while.
baka naman feeling goth kaya ako...? wala naman..just a stray thought...
ReplyDeleteBakit kaya hindi na lang switch off everything sa March 30? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI heard of this..of course, no. 1 on the list siya sa amin..
ReplyDeleteWWF pala! sehr gut!
ReplyDeleteok sana ano? walang work lahat...walang lights..pwede rin walang electricity ....pano na Multiply posting ko? *sobs*
ReplyDeleteanong WWF?

ReplyDeleteoo.pwede na yun!
ReplyDeletedito nga, lobby lights only :-)

ReplyDeleteWorld Wide Fund, Panda Bear ang seal nila...organizers nitong Earth Hour, they support lots of environmental projects..Greenpeace and WWF are the most active Ecological and Environmental associations in the world..
ReplyDeleteako rin, gusto ko pag nasa bahay lang walang ilaw...etong si ron lang ang mahilig sa ilaw eh....tsk,tsk,tsk

ReplyDeleteenglish please...masyadong deep yata for my gray matter na babagsak sa Pilipino subject
ReplyDeleteI don't want to sound cynical here but what can we expect to happen after turning our lights off for an hour? If it is to simply dramatize the concern for excessive carbon emission and to influence people to switch to "green" sources of energy, I think it will be more effective if we do an "Earth Week" or "Earth Month" where we will turn off our lights for a week or a month and be forced by circumstances to really "go green."
ReplyDeletegood point Chito...maybe this just one tiny step..mag snowball sana..
ReplyDeleteChits, this is more of a symbolic act..a starting point that one could start from within oneself and that in unison we are stronger and there should be something done soonest..
ReplyDeleteand also a reminder..
Yes, Nons. I understand that the gesture is really symbolic than anything else. Kaya lang sa tingin ko kasi, dapat beyond the slogans and symbolic acts, dapat mayroong concrete plan of action. I mean, what do we do on a personal level to translate this symbolic act into sustainable and on-going agenda for action?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am really thankful to Cat for putting this on the spotlight. In her other post (Earthling), I found a link to another video which I think is very appropriate for the topic here. The link opens to another google feature length film (about 1.5 hours) with Leonardo Di Caprio as the narrator (he's also the producer), entitled "The 11th Hour." The link is:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2174195060267517042&q=source%3A012409423610333165824&hl=en
Unlike the other previous films, this one has a very positive theme about it (in my opinion).
it's a good disposition to think of concrete goals..however, it would be depending on each of us how we would go along with it and make it as part of our lives to be ecologically conscious .
ReplyDeleteit would be more deepened if we search on suggestions about it..there are associations which could lead us the way, too.
of course, it would be more massive, if the government cooperates..to which I believe there are lots of improvement na rin.
so thanks Chito for the concern..I understand your point of view and hope for the same!
I know L. de Caprio is into ecology too, he wanted to become a biologist before joiningg the show business..
I'd watch the link you gave.
MABUHAY!
maganda talaga, very informative and touching..thanks!
ReplyDeletethe aftermath? I fell asleep at the start of Earth Hour and woke up at 4 am :-(
ReplyDeletenakakatwa ka talaga..I even thought of you and shared sa sister ni Arno about Eartch hour, I just don't know what time it should be sa Germany, I lost track na kasi..
ReplyDeleteyun pala, hinabaan mo pa...tinulugan, as in off lights in hours pa.hhehehe--
*sigh* sa pagod and late nights...and old age...
ReplyDeleteanyway, as long as 8;30 pm sa Germany yata, yun yun eh...
was nice to have more darkness than usual..I just left a tealight lighted in my bathroom..and snored the night away..
this sounds good..nakaparticipate ka rin naman...:)
