Got Milk? An Earth Hour Message

Found a strange addiction to milk (particularly full cream and chocolate) these few days. Yes, I know this is especially weird and unusual.


Today the Orchestra is performing on Earth Hour. In the dark. For about an hour. As Kok Wai put it: Omigosh. Better dish out the fluorescent bangles.


We have come a long way in development, but it has come with a price: The Earth is getting more and more sick by the second. Pollution levels are rising all over the world. Waste is accumulating and is increasing at an alarming rate.


Fortunately, modern technology and politics has improved in terms on environmental conservation. Rubbish is now used to create electricity. We also now have a carbon neutral country (that's Vatican City by the way) and many more nations such as Costa Rica are also aiming for this carbon neutral status. Australia is about to phase out the use of incandescent lightbulbs, saving heck of a lot of electricity.


However, laws and technology cannot function alone, for it is the common people that makes all the difference, including you and me. So, by doing our dear Earth a favour by turning off all the electrical appliances (except for the fridge of course) you can make a very big difference. Also in conjunction with Earth Hour, I invite you to watch the following video:



Happy Earth Hour!
