Earth Hour (예전에 영어스터디 발표한다고 준비했던거)

Do you know about Earth Hour?

I think many people don't know what it is. Guess it



This campaign was started in March 2007 in Sydney.
On saturday 27 March 2010, it became the biggest Earth Hour ever
Could you image what is this?
I'll give you some hint. This campaign is related with Earth and Environment.
This is organized by WWF.


This is a global event. Every lights and other electrical appliances will be
truned off during Earth Hour. Save the energy and think about the Environment!
It's Earth Hour.

In Earth Hour 2010, 126 countries participated. The scale is getting bigger.
During Earth Hour, many famous place also turned off the lights. Such as Sydney Opera House, Rome Colosseum and so on.
Even, google also change their homepage to be darkened.

I think this campaign is awesome.
However, criticism is always following to any happenings.
In case of Earth Hour, some people critisize it like this.

At first, there are some report that the consumption of electronic is decrease during the Earth Hour.
However, some people say there are more consumption. More energy was spending during marketing Earth Hour.
And the candle festival during Earth Hour spent more energy.
During cnadle festival, many candle was consumed. As you know, the main ingredients of candle is paraffin.
Paraffin is made of Oil. During burning a candle, more fossil fuel is consuming and more carbon dioxide is emitting.
WWF said this things are not important. Important thing is that people perceive the importance of fossil fuel and stop the global warming.
In my case, I agree this idea. More people join the Campaign, better our earth. Don't you agree with my idea?




In 2011, Earth Hour will take place on March 26, 2011
Remember this day! And join with them!!!
