at exactly 2030 last night the Philippines participated in the Earth Hour by switching the lights off for 1 hour. this advocacy started in Sydney 2 years ago to raise awareness of the effects of climate change in the planet. many countries also took part in this major event.
the family joined the whole country in its support for Earth Hour just as we did last year.
i signed up for Earth Hour and expressed my participation in the event
i'm glad to have contributed in the advocacy against global warming. even in simple ways like this, we can make a big difference. i've read some comments about people who are against this campaign. they just don't care at all for the world they're living in. no wonder we suffer from climate change and global warming!
ignoring the detractors, this event actually unified the people around the world and showed its concern for the environment. the earth is the place God gave us to live. and God gave us the responsibility of caring for it, not destroying it. God may have given us wisdom to make our lives better through electricity and automobiles and all that but not to the expense of earth's destruction. we must make every effort to save it and care for it because when the it's gone, we're gone too.
