on 28/3, 8.30-9.30pm, we are require to support the earth hour with close all the electric appliances. even the media corp like 8TV are goin to stop the operation for this one hour to show the fully support on this activity...

i don't think i going to do so as i am having final. 1 hour, alot of things i can do..
if i not goin to switch off the light and fan, this mean i am nt supporting??

actually i am not..

i just wan to raise up one issue here where ppl may have the misconception between supporting the activity by close everythg in an hour or make it as a habbit, switch off watever wen u leave. 2 are diff things.

since i staying in the hostel of uniten for 4 years (almost), i can see that most of them do not switch off the fan and light when they goin to class or even on the light duirng day time. this is simply bcoz they have pay EVERYTHG in the hostel fees. there is a wrong mindset here where ppl always tink, 'since pay ed, use oni laa...' this cause a waste...no matter how many years u support the earth hour, the energy that u waste wont balance up the enery u save when u support this. make it a HABBIT, not joining the crowd to do so.

other than this, there are house or premises that 'curi electrik'. they fixed the electric usage meter at the house.. the reduce of paying may up to 70-90%. which mean, u are using RM100 of electric, but u are just paying RM10 for the bill. when ppl fix their meter, they not oni intend to pay less, but they intended to use more and pay less. near my neighbourhood, there is a house (corner lot with 2 house built in 1) with 11 air cons inside. all operate for at least 20 hours i guess, coZ nvr c them open the window for air circulation..lolx.. heard that they owaz on the air con so that the bill will reach 100+ as it will too fake if such a big huz wit bill oni few-ty bucks =.=""

so, make it a habbit but not 'i am joining the earth hour ler...'
