Earth hour is a very important global event which is conducted
by World Wildlife Fund. The organization World Wildlife fund is also called as
World Wide Fund for Nature which is abbreviated as WWF. Earth hour is
celebrated on the last Saturday of March every year.
The main concern of earth hour is to take larger level of
awareness for the change of climate. In earth hour, the foremost action is
taken as to turn off non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for
one hour in all households and businesses. This is like offering an hour for
further protection of the earth to reduce energy consumption as a whole. It is
a unity towards the earth for less consumption of energy level.
The main focus of Earth Hour:
The main focus of earth hour is to be aware of energy level of
the earth. The energy level of earth is getting decreased day by day because
most of the time all sources of energy is not reused properly. Renewable energy
is to develop a lot but the scientists are not getting further success in this
category. Hence, people have to be educated for the usage of energy in a
parsimonious way. We have to keep our energy level for longer time and this can
be done when we use energy in a systematic and parsimonious way. Many a time,
it has been observed that people do not know the usage of energy particularly,
electricity, petrol, diesel and LPG etc and therefore if we continue the same
usage for longer time, we may suffer extinct of energy from the earth. Common
people have not much knowledge about it and therefore, earth hour tries to
spread this education all over the world. By turning off all non-essential
lights and other electrical appliances for one hour in all households and
businesses worldwide gives a high level of awareness for the same.
Earth Hour Celebrations
In 2007, earth hour was first commemorated by WWF in Sydney as
millions of people offered the helping hand to switch off all non-essential
lights for an hour. With this considerable step held in Sydney, many other
countries also came out and commemorated earth hour. Most importantly, earth
hour 2013 will be held on March 30th. This time will be considered every
country’s specific time according to their time zone however earth hour time is
commemorated in the morning hours only.
Importance of Earth Hour:
Celebration of earth hour is very important as the people of the
world have to be educated with the consumption of energy and its impact of our
daily life. We should not use energy in a lavish way because energy is being
extinct every time we use. People of the world should understand the bad result
of much usage of energy. We have to avoid unnecessary usage of energies. As
everyone knows, ‘Prevention is better than cure’ and therefore awareness of
using energy in a parsimonious way can provide a good solution for us to live
in our planet for much longer time happily.
