My mom read about it and decided that we would use one of those riviera maya candles for the hour.
I don’t celebrate earth hour but maybe I will try it one day.
I don’t celebrate earth day but when I was at Mexico we did. What we did was we turned off all of the lights and we ate dinner outside so we don’t waste any light bulbs or any electricity.
Why did you only celebrate in Mexico?
Wow Riya for me that would hard to do on vacation in Mexico.
This was a great inspirational video. I really liked it. I don’t celebrate earth hour ,but I hope one day I can use my power to change climate change! I could probably convince my family to celebrate earth hour with me. After all they might say yes because it save them some money!
I have never even heard of Earth Hour but I might participate in this event.
It will save a lot of electricity if mostly everyone turned off their lights for one hour. My mom will probably say to use candles or something.
I really like the video, and also I think that earth hour is when you turn off all the lights and try to save as much electricity as you can, because I read about it on the news. But I’m not that sure about if its really all about that.
I agree with you. I think earth hour is about saving energy too.
Earth hour seems like a good idea, and next year I’ll try it for sure. I think the purpose of earth hour is to conserve energy and help climate change.
Turning off the lights and electronics for one hour does make a difference even if it is a short period of time because a lot of people around the world are celebrating it. I have never celebrated earth hour but now that I know it can help climate change and our earth then I will definitely try it.
I agree that even one hour can make a difference.
The purpose of earth hour is to save electricity. Not using electricity for one hour makes a big difference because around 75% is not using electricity and when you add it all up, that’s a lot of electricity being saved. I’ve never tried celebrating it but I think I’m going to try it.
Do you think there is another reason for Earth Hour? Will one hour in the whole year make a huge difference?
Besides saving energy earth hour also means you spend less time on electronic devices and more time with your family.
Because of all the people doing it I think it makes a big difference.
I didn’t even know about celebrating earth hour but what you said made me think about the planet so I think I will.
This video is very inspiring and even though I don’t celebrate earth hour next year I surely will. This video shows how much saving the earth means to a lot of people because turning off all your lights and electronics to save energy was a very smart idea. Who came up with earth hour anyway?
I also wonder who came up with earth hour.
I didn’t participate this year for earth hour but maybe I can do it next year. Maybe I could do it once a month, a week, or every two weeks instead of just doing it once a year. I think I could do this any other day and it would still have the same results as doing it on earth day. It would be really cool to do this because its just one little thing I could do to help the earth and conserve energy and maybe a bit of money.
That’s a good idea to do more than once a year because you could save a lot more energy!
