Draft 1.
One of World Wide Fund for Nature's (WWF) programs that was held for the first time
in 2007 called "Earth Hour", has a goal to increase people's awareness about action to face
the dangerous of climate change. This program, which is always held once a year, was held
for the first time in Sydney Australia and followed by about 2,2 million Population. Recently,
this program in Indonesia was held on 29 March 2014. Even this program has been running
for 7 years, only a few people who willing to participate. Nowadays many people think if
earth hour is just program that doesn't has meaning. Maybe it because they don't know if
Earth Hour will give a changes and advantages not only for our Earth but also for ourself. In
my opinion, i believe that Joining Earth Hour not only save our Earth but also gives a new
experience and increases our interaction.
First, Earth Hour can save our earth. Earth hour can be the easiest one for us to
save our earth from global warning, because we only need to turn off lamp and electronic
device for about 1 hour. Only by doing this, we have reduced the impact of the green house
effects which is one of the factor, that can cause a global warming. Why? The higher you
consumption electrical power, the emissions of carbon dioxide in the earth will increase too.
Carbon dioxide gas is a result of the use of electricity in the earth. When you execute the
earth hour program it means you reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide that is come from
the consumption of electrical power. And do you know ? When you turn off your lamp and
your electronic device you also saving your earth from the use of excessive natural
resources. Why? Because as we know, most power plant using fossil fuel in order to work.
The fossil fuels include petroleum, coal and natural gas. If we continue to use fossil fuels
and there are no plans to replace or to reduce it. Not impossible, if later we will run out of
fossil fuels. And maybe savings will probably not be felt if only 1 2 people who doing earth
hour. But if we do it together, it means that we have been providing fossil fuels for our future
generations.
Second, Earth Hour gives you a new experience. Have you do activities such as
candle light dinner, exchanging horror stories and walking/ riding a bicycle around the house

complex? That activities would seem usual if we do it in the morning, afternoon or under the
sun rays. But if we do it during the earth hour (In the night without Lamp and electronic
device) that activities would seem unusual and will give you a different atmosphere. Candle
light dinner is doing dinner by using candles for the lightning tool, you can do it with your
family, friend even your girl/boyfriend. It will give you a sense of romantic. And then you will
get a sense of terrifying when you exchanging horror stories together with your friend in the
dark of the night. And one more activity that you can do is walking/riding a bicycle around the
house complex. Maybe you will see the crowds in the housing complex because people who
usually doing the activity in the house began to doing activities outside the house. Another
experience that will you get is looking at the stars clearly. Why it can? Because usually stars
in the sky is not so visible because of Lights that coming from residential and office
buildings. We can call it lights pollution, light pollution is condition when light shines
excessive that maybe come from natural or artificial ( Office Buildings or residential etc.)
During earth hour, together we turn off lamp it means that we have reduced the light
pollution. So that we can see beautiful stars more clearly.
Finally, Earth Hour can be one way for you to increase our sense of caring. First our
care for the family. When you at home and you, your father or your brother just arrived from
school or office. Maybe you are tired and decide to take a rest in your bedroom, playing your
gadget or your game etc. It will reduce the sense of togetherness in your family. But when
you doing earth hour, you will increase the sense of togetherness in your family. Why?
Because you have to turn off your lamp and your electronic device such as your computer,
air conditioner and television. So That you can gathering with families and chatting or doing
the other activities that can increase a sense of togetherness. Second, our care for the
community. When you doing earth hour, you will feel how difficult to live without lamp or
electronic device it means you feel what villagers feel that live without electricity, and if you
turn off 1 power plants it means, you give a power of electricity to about 600 village.
In conclusion, Only one hour and you will give and get a change. Such as be hero to
your earth because you can save your earth, earth hour could be the easiest one to do this,

because you only need to turn off light and electronic device. Moreover, Earth hour will give
you new experience, you will get a different night of the night before. And unwittingly earth
hour could be one way for you to increase your sense of caring. So, what are you waiting
for? If not us to start all of this, who will start?
