Hypocrisy Of Earth Hour

At 8.30pm on March 28 2009, organizers and sponsors of Earth Hour are asking people across the globe to turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet. Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference. Yeah right.

It is amazing that people are so easily taken in by a mere publicity stunt that fails at the very essence. Turning off our lights for one hour on one designated day of the year to save our planet surely is a PR event at best.

It shames the thousands of devoted people, government bodies, scientists and environmentalists that have for years been working on finding real solutions to address this global concern. Everyone should see past this gimmick by international NGOs and start changing their lifestyles. Surely we can be more proactive and not be fed by an agenda of international bodies.

Why don’t we implement power conservation programmes, ride public transport on certain days in a month, car pool, buy eco-friendly car like IKEA LEKO, etc?

Again, we need the world to take action on Global Warming by changing our attitude toward a more eco-friendly lifestyles. And adopt that attitude today.
