Last year I participated in an awareness program for kids during earth hour. We did an hour long shadow presentation that teaches kids how to conserve electricity. The advocacies earth hour stands for has been exceptionally effective here and has made us one of the biggest participating country in the world.
This year we are trying to up ourselves by becoming even more green.
“Though it would be wonderful to again be number one in terms of participation, we must emphasize that Earth Hour is but 60 minutes long. If we want lasting and effective results, then we must inculcate the true spirit of the event into our lives – which is to reduce our consumption of power, water and other critical resources. We want Filipinos to pledge to a year-long commitment to reduce their energy usage,” notes Ibay. “Pledges can take the form of biking to work, choosing to fly less, planting native trees, going on a no-meat diet and so on. It all depends on what the individual is willing to do. In the same fashion, corporations and communities can make commitments to be more resource efficient and environmentally responsive. Remember, it starts with nothing more than a conscious decision.”
It helps that it is the season of lent and meat sales go down during these times. Maybe because of this people can get use to it and make it a lifetime.
This is all I have time for because I am of to vacation. I'll take about it next week ^_^
Hear from you guys soon,
