Earth Hour
Tonight 25 March 2023 is night of earth hour; people all over the word will take part in this campaign.
This is celebrating to create awareness about Climate change and other factors that affect Earth. According to United Nations Secretary the people all across the world will turn off their lights at 8:30 pm to 9:30 tonight.
History
The idea to celebrate this day first came to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2007. The World Wildlife Fund Wants to aware youth to make Earth a good place to live. Switch off your lights wherever you are for an hour and think in the dark how we can participate to change the world.
Earth hour was actually a campaign and this campaign is too aware the people thinking about Earth. It was reported that more than 30 countries were participate in Earth hour of 2008; it was a great step to think about the Climate change.
The WWF was surprised to see such thing happened then they start a proper campaign and in support of this campaign many countries play their part like in 2008 San Francisco the city in California switched off their lights and support this campaign. In 2009 the Eiffel tower went dark to support this campaign not only in Europe but in Asia most of countries take participate in this campaign. In China the government buildings during Covid-19 have decided to turn off their lights for one hour just to support this campaign.
What we can do for Earth Hour?
We need to switch off unnecessary lights from 8:30 to 9:30 PM according to our local time. It is not a personal campaign of any country; it is an hour in the dark thinking to make our Earth a better place to live. You must play your part to make our Earth a better place to live.
Climate Change If all parts of a machine are working properly, but one part is damaged, then the machine does not work well. Climate change is the changes in our environment like temperature change, wind pattern, melting of glaciers, unexpected rain and many more.
These changes in Earth make many risks, this is because of Human activities like burning of fuels, too much pollution and the smoke from factories make the earth warm and they are factors which cause climate change.
Due to climate change people will suffer respiratory diseases because of poor air quality. The rising of global temperature cause many heat waves. Climate change causes melting of glaciers, gas emissions, heat waves, rising of sea level, floods, rain and destruction.
If we plant more tress then the trees absorb Co2 gas and it will reduce greenhouse gas power in atmosphere.
More we can reduce use of fertilizers for agriculture, Instead of that we can use natural fertilizers. And finally make aware everyone and participate Earth saving campaigns like earth hour. Unless you cannot change yourself, you cannot change the world.
And our dear Earth that gave us life is in trouble today, so why did we go back? Every individual has to come forward and save the Earth from the dangers and make it a better place to live.
Today the west is working hard to save the world from coming changes like global warming and climate changes. That is why they are creating awareness among people in different ways.
Why are not we working to save our Earth? The purpose of turn off lights tonight is not to follow the trends but to think about the Earth at the dark.
I hope you have understood my points, do what you can save the earth and prove yourself a better person.
