Tomorrow, the 29th of March between 8 to 9 PM in your time zone, you will be in black as the Earth Hour will be observed as part of the non-negotiable anti-global warming campaign. I have experienced 2–month long dark nights two decades ago when the super typhoon Ruping toppled electrical posts in our area while whipping central Philippines. Having an hour without electricity is not much of a bother to me. What dulls me more is the reason behind the campaign, weather it really is for the decaying environment or simply to redirect the public mind from a political activity hostile to the supporting governments just like the first Earth Day set simultaneous with Lenin’s 100th Anniversary. It confuses me as much as I am already confused with the businessmen made-believe “rice shortage” to increase the pricing of this Philippine staple. But anyway if you believe that there is really no significant event to be blocked by this global black out, go participate. Here is the campaign:
