Earth Hour or not?

Since the Earth Hour day's approaching,
I suddenly thought of this… yes, while rinsing baby's cloth diaper…

I know, because of this "event", there're a lot of business people seeing business opportunity for this, ie. party…
Good and bad…
While, most of the people are busy "attending" one…
I was wondering,
How many!!
How many out of these people, who're attending the event, are a real earth person?

I'm not saying I'm one of them, at least, on the "earthian" basis,
I give myself, just a passing mark…
I mean, I don't strive hard to achieve one, but then, I do remind myself to be one…
Get it?

How many of these people, eat more vegetables? Or eat more organic farmed vegetables?
How many of these people, who happen to be parents, cloth-diaper their babies/toddlers, and mothers - breastfeed…
How many of these people, who actually shop minimally… (ok, just like my previous blog, I'm "on my way" there… at least, I know very well that, being a mother, make me a better person, kinda… and Praise the Lord for that…)
How many of these people, who don't drink, don't smoke… come on!! Party people!

My failed part is…
I need airconditioning…
The weather's very hot… damn hot… and I know, the more airconditionings out there, up and running, and hotter the weather will be…
Chicken and egg…
Another chicken and egg thing… the weather's changing, it's colder around this time, compared to previous years… again, due to the global warming or whatever it is…
Weather pattern's changing, kinda shifted… my layman-term observation, ie. it used to snow around dec-jan in the northern hemisphere, but it still snow… NOW… scary, if you ask me…
And because of this,
I acutally CAN, and able to sleep without airconditioning… the second half of the nigh… till the morning, till the noon… good huh?
So, minimal…

Another failed part is…
Gosh!! I've to on my PC… NO MATTER WHAT,
And, yes, NO MATTER WHAT…
I can live without the rest, but no, my life will be meaningless, without my PC, without internet…
What a big enemy to the earth, right?

Back to the Earth Hour thing…
Therefore, the whole thing, yes, I know, it's out of good will… but when it's turned into the money-making reason for business people, and while it's becoming so POPULAR…
How many of those people who SUPPORT the idea… actually live the idea?

My favourite quote…
"It's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them." ~ Adlai Stevenson…
