Earth Hour is a wonderful initiative which was started to conserve
electricity. It was held on the 29th of March and celebrated by switching off
all electrical appliances such as tube lights, fans, etc., from 8.30 PM to 9.30
PM. It aims to spread awareness about the fact that if we can stop using
electricity for just an hour, then we can end up conserving loads of power.
My family and I enthusiastically participated in Earth Hour and
switched off all our electrical appliances for an hour. I am sure most people,
just like us, enjoyed doing their work by lighting candles. An important
outcome of this day was the realization of how it would be to live without
power — it threw light on the fact that we depend so much on power that we are
forgetting about how a life without electricity would affect us greatly.
I am sure that this day would have a positive impact on us, especially
in the future. I really can’t wait for this event next year. So, for those of
you who did not observe Earth Hour — if others can lend a hand in
conserving electricity and power, then, why can’t you too?
