An hour without energy will not save the planet


I know that making that movement of turning off the lights at certain hour, was a big help to make people realize how important is to care about electricity. But we have to be aware that this kind of events will not save our planet.

If we really want to stop global warming, we have to make this kind of things more often, to use the less possible electricity and start using new sources of energy such as solar panels, geothermal, windmills, among others.

I am tired of watching cars throwing out smog out, to see how people abuse of electricity, and how kids and adults waste water.

We are reading a book for our ethic class by Al Gore, the book's name is "Our Choice: a plan to solve the climate crisis". This book has taught me a lot, has gave a lot of ideas to help my planet to be a better place, and deliver it to our child and grandchild in a good way, not with 50% of smog in the air, not with a couple of trees remaining in our planet.

The action that was taken by several countries is great from my point of view, but I consider it useless also if they do it once in a long time, let's be realistic, we need more effort to solve our planet ecological crisis.
