Anyways, there's 10 reason why earth hour is so cool :
- Because electricity is an incredible human achievement, and one we should never waste or take for granted.
- Because 68% of the world’s electricity is still produced by burning fossil fuels, which are the prime cause of the global warming that poses such an enormous threat to our future and our children’s future.
- Because if we cared enough, we could produce all the electricity we need from renewable sources such as wind, water, solar and geothermal power - but we’re not making the shift anywhere near fast enough.
- Because turning the lights off for an hour is a good reminder that all the energy we use carries a environmental cost of some kind or other, and we should never forget this.
- Because year-by-year, more people around the world are joining in, turning Earth Hour into an inspiring time of shared global action.
- Because the time spent in the darkness, illuminated by perhaps one candle, offers a chance to slow down, relax, talk, and feel the beauty and harmony of our Earth.
- Because this one hour can become a trigger for creative action all over the world as people meet, talk, dream, get creative, and decide to act together.
- Because we live together on only one planet, and if we continue to use Earth’s resources so carelessly, there will be no-one to bail us out.
- Because being human is about so much more than just consuming so carelessly. It is also about dreaming, hoping, a building a better future for everyone.
- Because when we all come together, we have the power to change the world.
