Earth Hour Suggestions

hello earth saver! 

This blog entry was originally posted here [link] and was made by me and ~hufflepuff-student20 and i am posting it here so that you will be aware too ^_^ and this will serve as a reminder for us for the upcoming Earth Hour 2010

From the constant increase of global temperature, ice caps are already melting and our normal weather patterns around the planet earth is starting to change. Now here are ways on how to survive with the extreme heat in the future: 

[Note: The following are crazy ideas]

1. Avoid Heat. This means that we should move to some place if we hink that the heat in our place is already killing us. Be ready to spend A LOT from your constant travel from one place to another just because you want a cooler place to live in.

2. Burrow yourself. This means that you live underground when heat outside is very high, just like some animals do on hot days in the desert. Just make sure you?re still able to get out by the time the outside world is already cool.

3. Open your mouth. This means that you literally open your mouth like the crocodiles do to release their body heat and avoid hyperventilation. Just make sure nothing enters in your mouth while you try to do this. 

4. Retain Water. This means, as much as possible, you try to command your body to limit the use of water like one drop per hour, just to keep you hydrated. Bear in mind that mammals can NOT do that, so find a way to become not mammal, which is surely hard.

Now those are four ways you may try to do to save yourself, and only yourself. Imagine yourself being successful in surviving from the killing attacks of global warming, but global warming will still be there because you didn?t do anything about it, you just temporarily escaped its attack. 

Here's our suggestion, why not be one with the rest, on March 27, 2010 at exactly 8:30 from where you're living, join the International Earth Hour by switching off your lights for one hour, you don?t need to spend airplane tickets, you don't need to dig a hole for yourself, you don't need to open your mouth for hours, you don't even need to turn into a bird, you just need to switch off your lights, and look at that you saved at least one hour off from your electric bill! Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.

So choose now: Are you going to vote for for earth or for global warming?

Just remember this thing, if you think that switching of our lights is not enough, then think again! Remember, the whole world is participating and if all people will turn off their lights during Earth Hour [March 27, 2010] then, we are coninuing the history in the making in saving our beauiful planet!

Earth Hour Pilipinas and wesupportEarth

My Virtual Lantern. Get one here.

I'm really happy that the Philippines is really doing their best to support Earth Hour. As a Filipino, I have been a witness to many environmental problems and thought of many solutions that are quite impossible to make because of the lack of present resources. Yes. We lack some things as an individual and as a community. But that doesn't stop us to make our support for Earth. 

Just this week, I started a group in DeviantART called wesupportEARTH. The idea there came from the globally know Earth Hour. Since Earth Hour is celebrated annually, I decided to focus the group not only about Earth Hour but with the thought of helping to support our Earth and to build environmental awareness to the whole deviantART community. As true blooded deviants, I know that we can also make a difference and that we can always do our best to help in saving the environment. So from that, we were able to make the idea of the group that,:

We can make a difference. We can save Earth through our arts and creativeness. Let us all support Earth because we care for Earth.

To view more about the group, please visit this link.

To show our support to Earth Hour, we also created a collection in our Favorites section that shows the deviants' support to Earth Hour last year. And that was really Epic! We have many deviations in our gallery! ^_^ You can view the collection here.

I am so happy that many deviants are showing their support to Earth Hour and to thank them, I also featured them to expose their arts and support to Earth Hour! Check everything here: 

• Support Earth Hour PLUS FEATURES!
• Earth Hour New Feature

And as a Filipino, I would also like to advertise the contest that Earth Hour Pilipinas initiated: Earth Hour Photo Contest 

"To broaden avenues for Earth Hour participation this year, organizers are launching an EHP visual documentation contest in three categories: (a) cell phone photos (b) digital camera photos, and (c) videos. The contest is open to all Filipinos aged 15 and above. All entries should capture the spirit of Earth Hour in any of the Earth Hour 2010 events nationwide."

To view more about the contest, please visit this link.

Just a note. The contest has three categories:

• Cellphone Photos
• Digital Camera Photos
• Videos

So make the techie-you alive and show your support to Earth Hour with our technology.

Remember, we are doing this not only for our country but we are doing this for our beautiful planet! :)

Just remember this thing also, if you think that swithcing of our lights is not enough, then think again! Rmember, the whole world is participating and if all people will turn off their lights during Earth Hour [March 27, 2010] then, we are coninuing the history in the making in saving our beauiful planet!

Please show your support to Earth hour because when we support our Earth, we care for Earth!

Dont keep this as a secret! Share this to everyone!

Skeeper Cares too!

What is Earth hour? 

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.

Sustainable goals of Earth Hour

Earth Hour has done many things that made people build awareness to the climate change issues we are experiencing in our generation now. But the point of witching off our lights for one hour once a year doesn't stop on the goals of us earth savers. But moreover, this is to build more awareness so that we can give people the voice they need so that we can have a better planet. The sustainable goals of Earth Hour is not that difficult, so in our own little ways, we are really giving a massive impact on the whole world, with other people who are participating in this campaign.
