Earth Hour 2013
Just by turning off electricity for 1 hour, it helps our earth a lot. Our individual actions add up to a great change. This "Earth Hour" also remind people about how serious the situation is and that the earth is dying, and will die soon if we don't act fast enough. In Uganda, the people are challenged to fill 2,700 hectares of land with 500,000 trees is order to replace the 6000 hectares of deforestation. Many people and community service groups have accepted the challenge. In Russia, a law was written to protect the country's seas from oil pollution in the winter. 120,000 Russians presented the I Will If You Will campaign during the Earth Hour 2012. In Botswana, a lot of environmental groups have recently launched a project "One Million Trees-Plant For Life", along with the I Will If You Will campaign. I Will If You Will campaign attracted 4,000,000 people to participate on the campaign and received more than 200,000 commitments from people all around the globe. This is exactly what we need right now- we, as people living on this planet, have the responsibility to restore the Earth's health by working together as a group. We have to be committed into this situation. Otherwise, there won't be any "us" or "I"s left, and finally, there won't be "human" left.
