Salam...
Last week we had our Earth Hour.An hour were participating country urges their citizen to light off the light in their house.This is an effort to ensure the sustainibility of mother earth.I heard that a study is on the way to prove that the fact it do save energy by switching household lamp for an hour.Anyway all the best to whom who work on this study.
Afterall I'm not gonna mumbling about the effectiveness but just to work on some fact and some silly mistake done by people that confess their support to save mother earth.First of all by turn off the lamp light or whatever light that help to enhance lighting for the road.I'm totally disagree with that action by UTP management.Aren't they concern about safety?It means nothing if the effort led to people died because of accident.In UTP not all vehicles properly equip with lamp and not each light is working properly.Even not every car is metallic that reflect light well and can be seen a bit in the dark.I think one day a student might end up riding their motor or bike in the sewer if earth hour campaign led to turn off the road light.Earth hour might end up as accident hour.
Second thing is we try to save fossil fuel being use to generate eletric and yet we were using our car to go to somewhere else.I'm not sure whether this is the similar scenario in other country but a video from previous year in TV shows that M'sian are moving around in their cars during earth hour.Instead of fuel being burn to generate eletric power but it end up being combusted to move a car.An equation that I can say more or less still keep on the fossil fuel depletion problem continue.Furthermore combustion means carbon dioxide and water being release to atmosphere.This amazing gas won't do any favor for us afterall.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will sustain heat and make our earth hotter.It is not like "Lebih hangat daripada biasa" of Hot FM radio station but a total hottie.
Another thing is lighting up the candle.Still the powerful combustion take place.People hopefully did not see the significant but a million of candle still a power that we need to be concern.After all a serious study should be done on this effort.A guideline should be give before this event take place in the future.People should now the significant of this effort.For people that think that this unreasonable the aren't gonna work on it.Earth hour is a great effort but without certain rules it just gonna do more damage rather than benefiting the eart.Think wise before act.
