Earth Hour 2011

Don't forget to participate please. We only get to do this once in a year. It would be great to do this every day at least and see the difference we can all make.

Earth Hour 2011 is on March 26! Please switch off your lights for an hour (or extend it for another half an hour more!) at 8:30 p.m, your local time.

Let's do this!

Appliances Galore at Home

My husband loves hoarding on electronic gadgets and home appliances such as computers, home entertainment set and video players. What does that mean to me? Well, we are accumulating so much energy consumption. The appliances are taking so much space in the house. The cables and wires are getting tangled. I had to purchase several wire looms to organize them. Also, I am getting very confused on which one to use. Believe me or not but we have 4 DVD players at home. One of them is connected to the TV which also serves as the main control for the surround system. The other 3 are probably decoys! I don't recall using them at all.

I told my husband to dispose the other appliances because we don't need another set of DVDs, most certainly not 4 in a household. We also have several laptops and 1 desktop which we use for downloading stuff. It's the downloading center of the house as we call that pc. Again, it's a redundant thing. I thought I have already done end-of-the-year cleaning last year only to realize we have forgotten to get rid of the unused appliances at home. These appliances are almost brand new because we never used them. Such a waste of money!

And Then There Was Light

I am so bored with our ceiling lights. They are hanging lights which look more of a mini chandelier. I think they are so outdated.

I love contemporary stuff in my living room. However, my husband is the practical one who keeps telling me not to buy expensive items for the flat where we are currently staying at because the place is not ours.

I always remind him that we can take whatever we bought back in the Philippines. I can always rent for a big container if I have too.

I just feel like the lights are so old-fashioned. I want hanging spotlights just like the hanging lamps I saw in the mall last week. They are sleek and uses energy-saving bulbs. I will have to convince my husband though since we are updating the living room; maybe we can also include the lights.

Earth Hour Day 2009

I participated in this event last year by enlisting my family and friends to support the cause. We switched the lights off at home for an hour in observance of the "objective" Earth Hour is promoting. Again, I have enlisted myself in this worthy cause. I am inviting everyone to please participate in this noble task. It won't hurt to switch off the lights for an hour amongst the days in a year. It's just an hour...

Don't forget, on 28 March 2009, 8:30 p.m. local time. Commit.
