This Saturday (March 28,2009) will be the day for Earth Hour 2009. It is a time where people switch their lights off for exactly one hour. It is an event that started during Earth Hour 2007 where millions of people in Sydney, Australia switched-off their lights for one hour. Ever since then, the even became global with Earth Hour 2008 starting with the city of San Francisco, USA then spreading to other cities. This time for Earth Hour 2009, more cities and regions will be enjoying and thus more people will do the same to make this year's Earth Hour even better.
Now again, I am obviously not an environmentalist or conservationist (as I despite Greenpeace quite often).........but this is not about whether you believe in global warming or not (I certainly don't) or even climate change for one. It's also definitely not about beliefs or ideology, if you believe in religion or not or what social or political affiliation you may or may not belong to. Heck, this is not something that involves the boundaries of race, ethnicity, nationality, culture or history but this is about doing something for a change.
I guess all I'm saying is: If there was just one thing that all of us human beings could possible do even for just a moment, then that alone would make a huge difference in bringing us even closer together. Forget about self interests. Instead, even for just this moment in time, why not do it? Through that one simple act comes something fruitful when everyone does the same.........and that alone shows us even for that shortest moment, we call be a part of it.
Again, I am only here to inform (not to enforce) but as a fellow citizen of this planet and as a human being, I humbly encourage each and everyone to join millions worldwide just for this very moment. Out of the approximately 8760 hours available in a given year (365*24), won't it be too much to ask to give up just one single hour of it??? That's all we ask.
So again, you may not agree or disagree with it (or with anything).....but if you can, then please do join us for this night that only happens once a year. In this case, it doesn't matter if you are different in any way from the rest or if you think differently or even do things differently. Differences here do not matter as all that matters is we are a part of HUMANITY and if there is one thing that we as humans could do together, this would be the perfect chance to do so. Indeed, there is nothing more spectacular than for HUMANITY to be united in one mind, heart and spirit in pursuit of being even more united than ever before.
Join us and be a part of history by joining HUMANITY in its finest HOUR.
Again, a pleasant day to you all.....
