Remember the Charlton Heston movie, 'Planet of the Apes': that last scene where they show the Statue of Liberty in a broken down state signifying the degradation of the planet earth and changes in the whole ecosystem as a whole.
Who knows, if it would become reality? We have been haering about global warming, the ozone layer and pollution for innumerable years. However, it is a recent phenomenon, that the whole world is coming together for the cause of environmental concern. World Earth Hour was organized globally on March 29th, 2008. A lot many of us might not have been able to participate in this cause then. Well, here's our chance again. It's World Earth Day on 22nd April. We all can significantly contribute towards the environment in our own small way. To extend the concept of earth hour, why don't we switch off all electrical equipments at our homes for 2 hours. This isn't really that difficult esp to some people who are used to the regular load-shedding during peak summer ;-).
Well, wotsay...are we in for this small contribution? I'm doin it...join in if you think it is important!
