My Earth Hour

Day:28/march/2009


Even though i knew about Earth Hour before it was only when I saw a advertisement in which the number 60 is designed in globe,under it there was a site url www.earthhour.com i registered myself in that site.In Singapore they organized some events at Esplanade Park.There were some shops/booths like Starbucks,Old Chang Khee,Philips ,ACRES.We took picture in a booth,where they used recycle material for making cards.

The events started at 5 O'Clock but we reached there only around 6,that time there were around 100-200 people sitting around that area. As the sun went down the view of Esplanade,the bridge,UOB buildings was awesome.We walked around the bridge and took some pictures near the famous Merlion. At 8:15 we sat near the stage now the crowd grown around thousand,people started lighting candles.There was a countdown from 5 to 1 at 8:29:50   oops!! Most of the lights of those big buildings including the Esplanade went off.We were sitting in the dark.It was wonderful(!!) to see those buildings without light for an hour.This act has saved atleast some amount of energy.In TamilNadu as per Times Of India report 750MW of power was saved during Earth Hour.
Still we need to do a lot to Save our Planet. Do register in that site and show your support
