It is great to see that many offices have adopted the Earth Hour as a regular habit .I walked into an office at lunch time yesterday and it was quite dark as most of the staff has gone out to lunch.
Everyone should learn that by a simple act of clicking off the switch,you not only save on your electric bill but do your small part to save the world as well.
The electricity company TNB (Tenaga Nasional Bhd) reported that electricity consumption dipped by 550MW during Earth Hour on Saturday.This was equivalent to 14 million 40-watt fluorescent bulbs. The equivalent in Ringgit was not indicated. TNB's short term loss is our gain.
Ironically, as soon as the Earth Hour was over, most people went back to their normal consumption patterns. It is back to switching on the air conditioners, fans and television and computer sets and watching football all night.
Perhaps Malaysians prefer regular campaigns to make green living a normalcy.Over to you....................Maya Karin, Reshmonu, and all the celebrities gang.

I can proudly say that I've supported Earth Hour! :) Hope we can do that once a week...
No, the point is to save electricity by practicing it every day.Do laundry only when full,switch off switches when not in use(TV, computer everything except fridge should not be on standby),use less aircon, boil water only once a day,use energy saving bulbs and gadgets etc, etc.The result would be in your electric bill.
