Earth Hour
Hey,
U know what earth hour is?I just heard it from my friend the other day and was like complete blank about this.Then I just refered it in the net and came to know about it.I just want u folks to know about this as this is our planet and must do something to preserve it.
Earth Hour is an event wherein all the electrical appliances are switched off for an hour by the households and various industries to reduce carbon emissions organised by WWF Australia , Sydney Morning Herald ( a newspaper) on Mrach 29 , 2007 .Energy Australia a local utility reported a decrease in energy consumption of about 10% during that hour than it would be in an hour with the same type of weather.This can be equated as that of about approx. 50,000 cars being taken off the road at that hour (Source : Sydney Morning Herald).
But this has its own disadvantages.according to an analysis at University Of Chicago it has been stated that the drop was only about 2.10% after taking into account all the factors.
Not only this but in a way to support this event there can be over utilisiation of power before and after this hour.And although the cut in carbon emissions can be equated with about 50,ooo cars for an hour this value however is comparable to about 6 cars taken off the road in an year.
Hence this can only be a way of raising awarness to others and an answer to solve the case of global warming.
This is going to take place on 29th March this year in over 25 cities 175,985 people taken part till now.
Let us all join and preserve our earth.
