28th March 8:30p.m. to 9:30p.m....mankind stands up against global warming,yet,what I see are just people not knowing what the stand is about and not having any initiatives about this day.
I went to gurney,with expectations high,proud of being a part of something awesome.Caught a movie(Watchmen),end up almost being late for the 8:30 mark.I rushed down hoping to find a crowd of anxious by-passers just as excited as I am.
What I saw when I reached the dining area was a huge disappointment.Majorities of the shop having no part in it whatsoever,not more than 10 shops took part,and out of it some just closed the shop,as if they can't do business with some lights off?
It was like we Penangies not only do not care about our environment...but we take this day...the day that we should stand up against global warming as a day for a family gathering.
Watching peoples walking by,I see no hope in our country.To me Earth Hour in Penang,is like the ceremony before doomsday begins,celebrated with rain and lightning.Other people from around the world are well aware of the grave danger we are in,yet we could still manage to abide for our doom.
Do we not know how close we are to total annihilation?We are at the eleventh hour of our extinction yet an event such as this could still be left aside by the majority of the population...what an utterly stupid race we are.
People...Judgment Day is approaching sooner than we thought.Start doing something about it.The main point for Earth Hour is not to save energy,the energy from closing the light is peanuts,it's sole purpose is to urge people that our doom lies ahead if we do not start doing something,and fast.
Earth Hour 2009,Penang had failed to be in total support,people still don't care...not until something happens...and when something does happen,and it will,we only have ourselves to blame.
Stand up for a better world.Today you might not be aware,but the next day,the day after next,or even the day after the next,you will be aware of the doom we face.
PEACE
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Earth Hour 2010...365 days and counting...
