I off the lights on earth hour. My neighbours turned off the light as well. I can see the children were accompanied by their mom and playing around on the road with torchlight. Part of the street lights are off for the earth hours. Suddenly I felt I’m part of the united force wanting to make changes to the world. By turning off the lights means greater than just the action, it is the idea that will influence the society to aware about the world crisis we are facing now and the future.

Earth hour 2009 is just the start of the journey to better a world. Make every hour an earth hour, use the only essential energy as you can.
