The sacred day for earth had passed. Around 4000 cities, 88 countries with 25 different time zones were participated. I was more than happy. Not only because I am working in WWF and was in the Jakarta City Hall that night to watch the governor switch off the light-which followed by 60 other buildings in Jakarta-but also because the moment was mind blowing.
My dad is an architect and landscaper. He taught me about the beautiful of nature, trees, plants, eco-friendly building. He always thought that the government should shot illegal loggers, LOL. So, my interest in environmental issues grew up on me, enormously, since ever. I always appreciated the great works of people who fight for environment. Earth Hour is one of it. Imagine: the blackout, the world became silent with no sound of television, no urban sky glow, the sky is marine blue-instead of orange or grey, family were gathered-did something fun. It was so beautiful. Earth Hour is beautiful. The Earth itself is beautiful and we are lucky to own it. So, never take it for granted because we only have one earth. It’s like loving your lover or wife/husband or boyfriend/girlfriend. When you take them for granted, you’ll lose them, eventually. Love it, sincerely. Give the Old Earth time to rest, even only for one hour.
Thank you for participating in Earth Hour (28 March | 8.30-9.30pm local time). Thank you so much. You guys rock! XOXO
