What else we can do? We know how to destroy the planet and we don't know how to save it. These are some small measures by which we can take part in the global movement to save the life of earth. We should take the matter seriously.

Of course, it will help. If not in saving this Earth, than at least to the extent of saving our conscious. We just can’t adopt the wait n watch attitude.

For instance, if a person is terminally ill, we all know that he is heading towards his end, but we do our best to extend his life as much as we can. The Earth demands the same dedication and loyalty from us, the inhabitants of this planet.

It is never advisable to close your eyes n pray when your house is on fire!!

The city or municipal administration of all major cities in the world should be much anxious about the impact of climate change and the contributions of their own cities to the global warming. They know it better that the population in the cities like New York, Tokyo, London and Mumbai are the biggest polluters. So, the people living in such cities are among the most vulnerable to weather-related catastrophes too.

Yes it will certainly help!

Yeah, it would definitely help. Asking people across the globe to switch off the unnecessary lights for an hour aiming to reduce carbon emissions. I know it hardly helps in reducing the emission level but the most important thing is that it draws people's attention to climate change. On last Saturday people here in New Zealand turned off the lights at 8 pm for one hour. The city administration in Sydney also switched off the lights on Harbor Bridge and Opera House. It is a good move to make people aware of global warming.

No, it cannot work because the theory of global warming is not a fact either. The global warming is a scientific theory yet to be proved. the modern science should contradict the theory of global warming. The efforts being used to reduce the greenhouse gas emission level are just publicity stunt of some NGOs working in this field.

Great idea it is as we all know that electricity is the best method of providing light in houses, offices and on roads and bridges. We all should use it wisely and avoid using unnecessary lights even in our homes.

The concept of 'Earth Hour' inspired us to take part in it on Saturday night. It is nice step to make people aware about the climate change and to remind them to contribute individually to reduce carbon gas emission.

Yes it helps and makes a difference too, we need to remain positive, it would result in positive change in global warming. AND FOR PHILIP, it is not an issue that, Is global warming happening or not? What is the harm if we reduce the level of electricity consumption?

Atleast such moves create awaareness among the vast majority of people. So, criticising this move instead of appreciating this initiative will do no good to protect our fragile environment.

The tremendous support in favor of 'Earth Hour' was an indication of the growing public awareness about climate change. A huge majority in Canada was looking serious about climate change and waiting for Saturday night to make it successful.

Earth Hour may not make any difference but it helps in raising awareness among people. It brings people from different regions on a single platform as a community. More than 70% of Canadian population was in favor of celebrating Earth Hour, and people in Toronto proved on Saturday that they want to do something for a good cause.

In India, we people, who live in big cities other than Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, celebrate Earth Hour almost every day. The electricity department is well aware about the threat of climate change so, they cut the power supply for minimum 2-3 hours almost daily. We are much aware than people living in rest of the world. lol

Hemant, i write for Ecofriend and I said exactly the same thing in my write up too. It is funny, but we in India do it daily. We floow a couple of Earth Hours daily and our villages do it for 2/3rd of the day. But all jokes apart, we do it because we have no choice. We cannot switch on the lights even if we want to in those hours. That i suppose is the difference.

It may not make a huge difference directly, but the impact will be felt. Not every movement is a success, but if you do not start anything with that feeling then you never know if it would work or not. Let us see how this goes in the next few years. It surely would do no harm in giving it a chance.

Yes Hemant, Agreed that the electricity department helps India do its bit to save the earth, but if you look at the sheer energy that goes waste in lighting up the jazzy wedding halls and happening hotspots, you will realize that the department’s works no where nullify the effect! Every minute counts and makes a difference to the world though.

It sounds good to out ears that we should do our bit to save nature and protect our planet. But how many of us are aware that what should be done and what should be avoided? Where is the dos and don’ts list. To be honest I am not aware of that… Are you?
