Earth Hours

Marccus is bac from the "busy"ness that had taken few months to at least settle down abit. X.X
Yet, is actually stil busy. But the things buzzy around had reduced over 50%.

The recent update i would like to share up here is the "Earth Hour".

Earth_hour

This eye-catching two letter was found it besides the ATM machine in the cafeteria in FES, my campus.

It was just a simple notice actually, written there..

"Earth hour

At 8pm on March 29, 2008, cities across the world will turn off their lights for just one hour - Earth Hour™ - to show that it's possible to take action on global warming. Switching toff is a simple action that can make a difference and it sends a powerful message that the people of the world care about the future of the planet. "

And next, there stated four simple steps that can contribute to this activities.

1. Sign up to Earth Hour (and i get this personal site),

2. Take application off standby,

3. Spread the word about Earth Hour, and

4. Switch to Green Power.


Here is the website where you can surf up for more details.
www.earthhour.org
There also abundance of video regarding this event in youtube.
Youtube - Earth Hour


I really hope my friends and family and also people in Malaysia and around the world would take part and response to the global warming.

Actually this activities may look silly to most people, who in fact doesn't care much about global warming. But why don't try it?

What to do is..
Just turn off ur light or if possible, any electrical consuming appliances in your home. Just off them at 29 March 2008, 8pm to 9pm.

It make no harm. :)
