Earth Hour 2010 Calgary
So yesterday was earth hour and that means that between 8.30 PM and 9.30 PM you should have your lights of for an hour and lots of cities in the world participate in this.
I heard that in 2009 our city (Calgary) used 1% less power compared to normal and that while Toronto saved 15% so people where disappointed about that and they should. But now today the number from yesterday came out and guess what we used 0.5% less power then normal and now you hear all those people being happy about how much they saved. I am really disappointed.
But I think that our problem lies by the organization here in Calgary.
First of all they did not realy do anything to get attention to the earth hour 2010 till last moment. And then there was an event downtown at Olympic Plaza and finding information about that was also almost impossible. But I went there last night because I left my light off and unplugged all the other electronics in my home. The happening down town was not even worth mentioning and that is all I am gone say about this.
At least some big buildings downtown joined in last night the Bow Building was without lights for an hour and the Calgary tower to. And some other buildings had less lights on. But after the hour things went back on and that I don’t get. Why does an office tower downtown have so much lights on on a saterday nights.
Come on people start turning the light off if it is not used. When you leave your office flick the switch. if you leave the washroom turn of the lights.
Make a change for the better not just an hour a year.
