Apa Aktiviti Di Kala "Black-Out"?

Earth Hour

Earth Hour is a fabulous opportunity for you and your family to do something about climate change. One night per month, more will be done, more will be demonstrated, and more will be learned than through a
hundred 'talk-fests'. And you can help make it happen.

What is Earth Hour?

It sounds simple, but it is very, very dramatic. At 7.30pm on the last Sunday of every month, we will be encouraging companies, government departments, individuals and families to turn off their lights for just one hour. If we meet our objectives during the first Earth Hour, the savings in green house gas emissions will be the equivalent of taking 75,000 medium sized cars off the road for one whole year! Now that's something worth doing.

Why?

The facts are alarmingly clear:

* The climate is changing! The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since 1990. In fact 2005 was the hottest year since record keeping began.

* More than 95% of the Great Barrier Reef will have been destroyed by 2050 if carbon dioxide emissions aren't reduced. (WWF-International)

* One million species worldwide are facing extinction due to climate change.

But not everybody listens to the facts. Earth Hour is your opportunity to demonstrate how a simple change in our way of life could change, and help save, our planet.

The goals of Earth Hour:

Households: Most of us use unnecessary electricity. Appliances on standby, old style light bulbs, lights left on when we're not using them. Earth Hour will help us all to realise just how simply we can make a dramatic impact upon global warming (and our own power bills). We will see it in action.

Companies : We want companies to be involved. If every company turned off its lights when the buildings weren't in use, and combined it with energy saving technology, we would save between 2 and 4 million tonnes of greenhouse gasses every year. Earth Hour will show companies just how easy that is.

Aku rasa malaysia dah biasa dengan kerja cut-off elektrik dgn suka-suka tanpa notis.. Bukan takat satu jam jek.. Kadang² tu 12 jam kat area rumah aku.. orang dah la balik penat-penat.. pastu takde letrik.. apa pon tak boleh buat.. nak makan pun tak lalu sebab gelap & takut tercekik tulang.. Tido mandi peluh sebab panas.. Nyamuk banyak keluar bila xde elektrik.. Tak paham ngan nyamuk nie.. Suka pulak dia time² macam nie..
Bila call TNB, nak buat report takde orang jawab.. bila nak upgrade ni? Malaysia lemah lagi dalam teknologi ni.. Kata jer nak jadi first class.. Hampeh!
