Earth Hour

Today, we are given the opportunity to take control of our Future. Regardless of age, race, nationality or background, we get to vote, and to let our voices be heard.











For just one hour, we can make a whole lot of difference, and this would show how much we care for the people around us, the animals living with us, and most importantly, how much we care about Earth, the place we call HOME.



The fate of our Future lies in our hands and ours only.



In a modernized world like ours, one would think of not how much we are helping Earth, but how much we can do in that one hour. Essays could be completed in that hour, you could watch your favourite television series on one hour and even complete a level in your favourite computer game.



But is it all worth it?



Can we not care about ourselves for a moment? And care for others?




There are droughts in places that used to have water in abundance;









The sea level rises, obstructing paths for both pedestrians and vehicles.

"Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides, riding on the ever higher mean sea level, brings the Pacific sloshing over onto roads and into neighborhoods. In the center of the larger islands the sea floods out of old barrow pits and even squirts up out of the coral bedrock. Puddles bubble up that eventually cover part of the airport on the main island of Funafuti and inundate homes that are not along the ocean."








Even erosion occurs.



And all this is caused by us, humans. And who suffers? Not only us humans, but every single living creature on Earth. Why should they suffer the impact of Global Warming when we humans are the ones to be blamed?






Polar Bears are one of the animals that are on the 'Endangered' list. One of the main reason for this is because of Global Warming.


If you have studied Geography,you would know that Global Warming raises the average temperature of Earth or in other words, increasing the global temperature. This, causes the sea levels to rise(because by raising the global temperature, it causes the polar caps to melt. Thus, raising the sea level.), and would without a doubt, change the pattern of precipitation all over the world.


What has it got to do with animals like the Polar Bears? Well, with the rise in sea level, is causes the polar to swim twice the distance they usually swim in order to find food. Many die due to over-exhaustion from the hunting.


And there you have it. Innocent animals die because of us.




So what to do? Vote Earth.





And look at the beauty of our hearts combines in saving our Future.










I am Voting Earth, are you?
