Small action, Big effect

Nowadays, we often hear news like snow storming, flooding, drought are happening around the world. These are the signals of global warming. Our planet is sick. She is making silent complaints!



Today 28 March 2009, is a day for all the people around the world to show their love to our beloved planet, Earth. The most recognised landmarks on the planet are taking part in this Earth Hour 2009 too. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Table Mountain in Cape Town, Merlion in Singapore, Sydney Opera House, CN Tower in Toronto, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the worldís tallest constructed building Taipei 101 will be switching off their lights for one hour at 8.30pm local time. So, turn your lights off at 8.30pm too!



Switching off the lights for a hour today is a great start, there are things that you can do in daily life to save our mother earth. Here are some of the ideas that i do my best to practice everyday:

1) Turn off the electrical appliances when you don't need them.

2) Only open the fridge when necessary.

3) Reduce the use of plastic bags, bring your own bag for shopping.

They may seemed small actions, but if everyone of us practice, it can be a big difference. SMALL ACTION, BIG EFFECT! Let's make our planet to become a better place to live!
