Haha Hiatus lifted.

Hello again, now that there has been several happenings lately, I can start writing again.

Now, the most recent event, was Earth Hour. An event where everyone switches off their lights quite simply as a vote to sustainability of life on earth. An event which would symbolize the unity of people towards a greener, healthier earth from now on.
I have my personal views on them, which probably in some pessimistic way thinks this event was only half assed. However, its significance still proves to override the little short comings it has.

Let us view the general events of Earth Hour. Everyone (including participating businesses, which if I’m not mistaken, would have to register themselves) switches off their lights. Then there are the events celebrating Earth Hour, with stage performances and such, consuming all power that was saved by all the lights anyway. Oh, the bitter sweet irony, this probably has already been thought of, criticized and scrutinized and probably passed off as a negligible factor.
But, that’s just to tell you folks who never thought of this negatives which often comes with the objective of this sort of events, the term is called compromise. (Just applies to those who are really completely ignorant, a rare breed, right?)

Well above all, I myself supported Earth Hour, as a sustainable processing stream engineer (might change to nanotech though) I see Earth Hour as a great event to bring awareness to all whom has never seen the greener light of the earth. The earth is a body which contains a finite amount of energy, though large, with our humanities great consumption of it, it will undoubtedly run out of it, and the effects of a planet which has no energy, is the same to that of a dead star (which didn’t turn into a black hole). Everyday we work to lower the consumption of this vital resource, yet, through the significant amount of ignorant people around the globe, our efforts might go in vain if no awareness is raised. Thus, Earth Hour is a vital event which I would like to thank the environmentalists and the event management for such an essential event.

Now that you know that the current situation the Earth is in, why don’t you do your part, though small, but with infinitismal unity and mindset, we’ll probably extend the age of the Earth, because every little thing we do counts. As time goes by, with our newfound mentality and as our technology continues to flourish, what we do now, will prove to be a winning factor against the death of our beautiful blue marble.

So ladies and gentlement, it’s lights out.
