Do you know what earth hour is? Don’t feel bad if you don’t,
most people have never heard of it before. Earth Hour is a yearly event organized
by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). During Earth Hour people no matter where they
are around the world or what they are doing turn off their lights and don’t use
electricity for one hour. This year
Earth Hour takes place on March 23 (this Saturday) at 8:30. You’re not being
asked to spend money, travel to a location, or make a life changing commitment.
All you have to do to take part is turn off all of you electronics and anything
that uses electricity for 1 hour. To be honest
at first I did not know what earth hour was and when I did find out I
questioned whether I would be able to commit. But I asked myself what’s stopping
me from taking part? The fact that I want to go on Facebook or that I want to
watch TV? Facebook and TV will always be there for whenever I want it. But the
Earth and environment is only here for as long as people keep it here. We rely
on the earth for our entire life and I think we can spare an hour to take care
of it in return.
Member of the Zoo CREW Campaign have taken the pledge to
take part in Earth Hour and we encourage you to take part too. Because this is
not only our earth it’s yours too.
