Only One Hour that we have to save the Earth


Earth is dying. The air temperature is getting hot, erratic weather and climate. This is a fraction of the impact of global warming, the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, sea and land earth. Worse yet the world as confirmed by the scientists, global warming impact on climate change due to human activities.

This century, increasing global temperature increase to 1.4 to 5.8 degrees Celsius. A number of things that are expected to hit Indonesia, among others, sea level rise will inundate the mainland as far as 50 meters from the coastline of the Indonesian archipelago, along the 81 thousand kilometers. In addition, more than 405 thousand hectares of Indonesia's land is expected to drown. That is, thousands of small islands threatened erased from the map of the Indonesian archipelago.

Starting from the condition and the Earth where we live has to be rescued soon, there arose the idea of Earth Hour. This is one of the campaigns of World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a global initiative that invites individuals, business practitioners, government and other public sectors around the world to participate and turn off the lights for one hour. The goal, saving the electricity consumption. Why is electricity? Because the human dependence on electricity has resulted in an average increase in Earth's temperature drastically.

This can lead to rising sea surface water, drought, storms, and major changes to the environment on Earth. As an illustration, the electrical energy consumption in Indonesia focused on Java-Bali or equal to 78 percent of total national electricity consumption. Other parts of Indonesia that have smaller portions. Well, if 10 percent of Indonesian people participate in Earth Hour, Indonesia can saving electricity consumption amounted to 300 MWh. Whereas with a very simple way through turn off the lights for one hour only. In order for our earth does not hurt, now the time to prove our concern to preserve our Earth for the future of our grandchildren. Let's participate through Earth Hour.
