Earth Hour, the biggest climate awareness campaign ever!

Wish if the same spirit was there against Corruption too. It would have eradicated it long back. We are living with it since independence and the cancer is growing day by day. If every Indian spirit starts fighting against corruption and the mafias mushrooming it, India can again reach to its golden days era.

We must have seen this tag by "Incredible India" enacted by Aamir Khan where he addresses everybody to help in fighting against injustice against tourists in our country. I think this is a serious issue since if they stop coming, a huge part of our foreign income will also stop. Everyday, we can see some or other cheating or violence happening with foreigners in our countries and unfortunately our government is not taking any special action against this resulting in defaming of our country and decline in tourism. We, as responsible citizens should raise our voice against this. We should learn from Japanese people who never let any injustice happen with tourists in their country.

In the similar way like "Earth Hour", it is required observe "No Plastic Day". We need to protect the earth by reducing the consumption of plastic. There is a requirement of wide spread awareness among the global population.

If poor and village people all over the world were asked to choose between more electricity and more water , which do you think they would choose ?

If there is one thing which rich people waste more than electricity , it is water ; you can see when you travel by train , the middle class family which has brought drinking water with them , will rarely waste even a drop ; the upper class passenger , who has bought a bottle of mineral water from the platform shop , thinks nothing of leaving the half full bottle behind when he gets off.

Much before we face a lack of energy , we may well die due to a scarcity of usable water.

Other important issues we need to look at would be 100 % literacy , child labour , female infanticide , to name a few.

The most environmental killing factor is carbon emitting vehicles 24x7 across globe. If we could observe this day, a lot of fossil fuel can be saved as well as less carbon in atmosphere. This also will help in no sound pollution day as well. 

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Hope you’ll contribute your participation and be a part of this noble cause.

we should do more climate awareness campaign

Yes, we have to follow the earth hour on a voluntary basis.The local government bodies and NGOs should take active participation in propagating such ideas which will save the earth. Moreover I suggest that every one of such should follow and SAVE POWER ON A DAILY basis wherever possible. Please switch of lights, computers, monitors,printers, Air Conditioners etc not in use or away from seats in offices. One should inculcate the habit of switching off the power and promote the same in the organisations so that every employee becomes a party in saving the power

this is a very good move, but we can make earth hour everyday by putting off unneccessary electric consumption in our home. just start those lights and fans where u are sitting, put off those where u r not.

its not holi or diwali that we are celebrating once in a year.......its really fullistic to tell that today is earth hour...i say every day is earth hour.......it is in our hand only that we want to make earth hour or not.

Today India as a country is known as a best developing country & in world map it is excelling in education , technics , atomic power or any field, but if u compare our social civic sence or social responsibbity it is still far far old , still you will find plastic bags, rappers, banana chhilaka etc on the roads,

people spiting anywhere, throwing waste anywhere .

A campaign may help awaking people.

Since the question from Inani was users, Which other similar kind of campaigns do we need to create awareness on many issues??

One such similar Campaign i think if globally every one donates one days salary in a year then as per strategic planning not immediate results perhaps in coming future years you may see fruitful results, as initiative one could start from India.To make this happen Friends are you with me
