Last night from 8 PM – 9 PM, people from all over the world experienced the Earth Hour – where everyone who joined turned off their lights for 1 hour. I didn’t get to experience this since I was at a reception in Sofitel Plaza Hotel but would it count that since I was out of my house, my laptop and my lights were turned off. I hope since I would want to do my part in helping fight against global warming, climate change etc.

If you weren’t able to join, you can do other things in your own small ways like going to the movies since the lights are off and just the projector (the thing that plays the move) is the only thing turned on. Haha Just kidding! But you can if you come to think of it since you’re out of your house, and no matter what you’ll do the movie will run with or without you.

Kidding aside, here are some small ways you can save energy without you suffering:

1. Have a family game day – On a Sunday perhaps, instead of having all the lights in all the rooms turned on, why not play Monopoly or any board game with your family.

2. Invite your friends over to watch a DVD or a movie with you.

3. Try a candlelight dinner – why only have a candlelight dinner on Valentine’s Day? Just don’t burn yourself or your partner.
