Hello all just wanted to speak on the importance and the significance of Earth Hour coming up on March 27th, 2010. Why is this one hour so important? It is so because it brings about awareness on a global scale about the level of importance this issue has for all of us. It is now clear more than ever that the earth cannot remain sustainable at current levels of mass consumerism that we now have reached. All the cause and effects we have witnessed over the past 100 years have now caused something much greater on a global scale which now affects all of us! No longer is it just simply an oil spill in a remote region, no longer is it a polluted environment in a remote area, the land dumps each city has generated; the earth can no longer get rid of all this junk because it has been bombarded and overwhelmed. We are draining the earth of its resources to amply supply us with everything we need because we have been taught that consumerism = happiness, yet it doesn’t and we like to mass store money we don’t need, food we don’t need, clothes we don’t need, shoes, cars, the list goes on and on.
My friends over at Urban Grassland posted this Earth Hour video that demonstrates the energy and power that we all have on this situation to make change. We do not need to approach this situation with anger or frustration, yet simply know what we need our resolve to be and approach it with intention, purpose and know that there are millions of people across the globe who feels just like me and you. Realize what our outcome needs to be and it will become so. Our resolve must be to find new sustainable energy sources that Mother Nature endorses by amply providing us with them. Sustainable fuels and energies can be created from crops, and the wind the earth provides; yet we have been convinced since early age that we need oil, coal and gas like substances to be able to run vehicles and worst yet travel across the globe to acquire these fuels that create great amounts of pollution just so we can buy fuel that we always had at home locally available to us. My focus is mostly on energies because for decades they have been the drive for mass consumerism, corporate bullying, unfair labor, fighting, violence and the list goes on.
In conclusion I hope that each and everyone of us takes into consideration what this hour means, do not take it for granted. Stop the consumerism and waste of resources just for on hour. We owe the earth that much just out of respect for all the awe inspiring moments she has given us and all the joy of food, air and life she has provided.
Until next time seek unlimited knowledge for your green lifestyle!
Namaste,

I always participate in the “Earth Hour”. This event is a symbol that we should be more aware of our environment and that we should focus on protecting mother earth.
