Earth Hour

Earth hour will be a speacil day because in 2,700 cities people will be turning off thier lights & electricity. I thiink this is a good idea because it will be able to safe the environment and to make sure that people are aware that the amount of energy we are using is too much and that we need to cut it down.

Well, I know that i will do it and I hope tyhat you and everybody in this classroom do it.

Did you turn off your lights &electricity last year?

Well, if you are doing it this year, I have some tips here. 10 different ways to spend Earth Hour and reduce your carbon footprint:

1. Attend a local Earth Hour event or organise your own by throwing an Earth Hour street party with your neighbours
2. Gather family & friends for a night picnic in your local park and look at the stars
3. Enjoy a family dinner by candlelight
4. Organise a treasure hunt in the dark
5. Take the dog for a night walk
6. Have a candle-lit bath
7. Sit in the dark and share stories
8. Organise a family night playing board games
9. Share a romantic night in with your loved one
10. Upload your ‘on the night’ photos and videos to flickr and YouTube respectively, and then add them to the respective Earth Hour flickr group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/earthhour2009global/) and the global YouTube Group (http://www.youtube.com/group/earthhourglobal).

Earth Hour Executive Director, Andy Ridley, is encouraging people to participate in whatever way they choose and to think beyond the hour.


So,I hope that all of us have a share in safing our Bautiful Planet Earth.
