Do you know the this project?

I agree with you, this is a really nice concept. If everyone did this once a week for one hour- the world would consume soooo much less.

Hi,youless! i've heard of this notice since i am living in Shenzhen now. and its really a nice idea in my opinion. its of every citizen's duty to save energy and protect our earth environment. of course, i will turn off my lights during that period of time this saturday and so will most of my friends.

[i]Hi youless, I learned this from se7 just 5 minutes ago when I responded in his post...I will try also to do that and thanks for sharing us this news, I am too behind, have no idea about this![/i]

Yeah... it is called the Earth Hour. It is done every year. One day a year, the world would be encouraged to turn off the lights for one hour. And that one hour of darkness, it is suppose to save the earth a certain amount of carbon emmission. I'd probably do it. But I cannot be bothered to register at the website to pledge my support. Are you gonna do it? As in, turn off your lights for that one hour this coming saturday?

Its name is Earth Hour started from 2007. Its target is to let more people know the importance of dealing with global warming. My university also join the event and now there are lots of promotion in my university even through the university TV. March 28, 8:30-9:30pm, switch off your light. And let's together see what the world will look like.

well, i got the news from the message of CMCC, that's really a good idea for reminding people not waste energy. but i mentioned that there is only about 4 thousand of family in tianjin responsed to the project. and i'll do my best to join them.

This sounds familliar, but I don't know it that well. I think I heard about it once on the radio. I think it is a good idea, and probably something that people should look at more closely. Imagine all the electricity we could save if people just turned off the lights for a bit. I am legally blind, so I don't need lights on. This alone saves me a lot of energy.

Yes I have heard of it "8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth. Saturday 28 March 2009" http://www.earthhour.org/home/

Hi youless! Yes, same thing will be happening here in our country too. For one hour, every household here are encouraged to turn off the light in support of the project and will save much energy in doing so. It is a good project indeed! Take care and blessings to you. lovelots..faith

few months ago here in my place..all the vehicles stop for 5 minutes and i was on the taxi the vehicles are not allowed to move they said it is a reminder to save energy

Yeah, it's called earth hour if I'm not mistaken & they have a number 60 there, I wonder what does that stand for - 60 minutes maybe? An hour for saving energy? I think that's it. I think it's a good reminder but I don't think we'll be doing that as we always are aware & we always try not to waste our electricity & water as that will definitely contribute to the utility bills

wowwww thats a good news.thats what others said china are improving

I think it nice too.And I hope more and more cities will join this project.lol...In a long run,the energy is very important for us,for our generation. This is a good news. Happy mylotting!:)

That's nice! I totally support the project to save the energey. i wonder the name “Lighting engineering” is scientific or not. why so bright the city must be? people are wasting the energy which consumes so much resources and produces serious pollution,causing the greenhouse gas and disasters.

That is awesome. Everyone should be doing what you can to save energy and this is great there are cities getting in on the act! Thanks Zelo

I know this project! And I think I will join tonight to switch off the lights for 1 hour. I think it's a good practice and it's good to save some world's energy.

youless, I am sure we should be ever be conscious and conscientious with our efforts towards the preservation of the earth. We should not abuse and waste the precious resources that are scarce and hard to come by. Destroying and going against nature will and be discouraged. This project is nice and a reminder that should all of us do it not only for that one hour but as many one hour(s) as possible. Cheers.
