The Earth Hour and the moments thereof!!

In our lives these days there is never one that has not been defined as SOME DAY or the other. Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Lover’s Day, Peace Day, Health Day, Women’s Day and so on and so forth. These days we have hours and shortly perhaps we would come down to minutes and then moments. But then we were talking about the Earth Hour that was observed yesterday for an Hour!! Everybody was supposed to switch off their lights and being in Dubai I am sure not the Air Conditioning Units or for that matter the television. What about the neon advertisings? To be honest I was not sure myself of the dimension.

I would prescribe that we break up the Earth Hour into tiny implementable bits and an one that would make a difference. For example, every moment should be a earth hour. In office do not pick up that plastic or paper glass to drink tea, coffee or water. Instead, invest in a mug that you wash yourself. Wear lighter clothes in office instead of wearing suits and then turn the environment into a refrigerator.

Decline to pick up that plastic bag when you visit your local convenience store when all that you have bought is one Coke and a Chicken Pie!!Switch off your engine when you are standing at a signal or a traffic jam for a long time. Switch off that extra fluorescent tube when you can well do with natural light(working for long hours under fluorescent light is harmful to your health too. Take the stairs instead of the elevator when going down. Don’t over order in restaurants and waste food. Don’t buy gas guzzling cars just to show that you are superior than me. Actually you are not, since you did that to cover up your inferiority complex.

Offer car lifts to your friends and colleagues in office, instead of waiting for them to come. The GDP will go slightly done but it would save some fuel. Use less paper in office and don’t foster a photocopying fetish.

I could go on, and the best part is that you know it all. Practice earth moments instead of observing earth hours. Just a changed color on Google(the screen turned black) will not make the difference. Sphere: Related Content
