I voted for Earth!

Yesterday after work, I ate breakfast with one of my friends. I saw this ad from the Philippine Daily Inquirer and brought it home. Yes, it says "Meralco has the energy to support..."



Please visit EarthHour.ORG for more details.



I posted the ad page on my front lawn for passersby to see. I sms'd everyone to remind them and invite them to join the cause. And of course when the time came, I switched off all the lights at my home last night from 8:30-9:30pm.

I was expecting the street lights to dim out, but it didn't. But surprisingly, a colleague sms'd me and told me the lights were turned off at work! Wow, for a 24 hour establishment, they indeed need a time off.

Unfortunately, alot of my neighbors did not participate. Either none of them watch the news nor read the papers. Or they just simply are too lazy, too naive, too selfish and too insensitive to believe in such a world wide campaign. Or they just didn't care.

Sad. tsk tsk.. i pity them.

For those who did turn their lights off tho, you can grab the logo above and place it on your blog or site. Click here to get the code.

For those who are thinking of excuses now why you did not turn off your lights, please watch this video for you to know what is going on.



Notice something at 2:00?

Here's another version of that video edited to have 17 seconds of Manila clips.

And, of course, a video from the local news:
