チェイサーの夢

After posting an entry to signify the importance of saving our Mother Earth, I happen to surf around and found that Singapore actually tried to do their part in promoting awareness during Earth Hour. I am both surprise and trill by the fact that Singaporeans have slowly emerged in playing a part to show the world that we do care for our planet Earth.

However, there are some pictures that do disappoint me. For example the events that is going on Esplanade. It is suppose to be Earth Hours, we are trying to cut down on the amount of electricity used. But, there is an concert going on in Esplanade!? I can't believe my eyes when I saw those pictures. Furthermore, I came across this video whereby Singapore try to light an array of candles to show that Singapore care for th earth. The thought is sweet, BUT look at the amount of trash they made. If one observe carefullly, you can see that the wax are dripping all over the floor in the middle fo the road. The next thing you know, after the event, the cleaners are going to have a hard time clean up the place especially it is in a middle of the cycling track. Earth hour is to conserve engery and reduce all types of trash to help save our mother Earth. All this actions seems to me like people are more enjoying because of the events rather than saving Earth.

Unbelieveable !!

Just in case, for anyone who love to check out the video for earth hour 2009, here is it:

"Save the cheerleader, Save the world" as quoted from Heroes Season 1. However, in reality, there is no special super hero cheerleader to be save. The only super hero is ourself and I urger everyone to do your part for Earth Hour 2009.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

Earth Hour is Saturday the 28th March from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. Time zone is where ever you may be in the world. Do your Part, Save the WORLD people.
