In Dark for Our Lovely Earth

On March 28, people from across the world say 'yes' to just switch off all the electricity for about one hour (08.30-09.30 PM). This was dedicated to the earth, we call it 'Earth Hour'. I and my family, we also switched off the electricity for one hour except the one light in front of our house. We actually went to the city and see how the city (Bogor) respond, and unfortunately most of the lights still turned on. But, somehow, i'm glad knowing that Jakarta participated in it, and off course others big cities. Realizing that we have only one earth, i think we can do more than that for the earth. With 'Earth Hour' , it's one way to start it...

the earth turned dark for about 1 hour

Switching off the lights in Jakarta and its surrounding for one hour, is equal to:

• Reduce 300 MWh of electricity usage (enough to rest 1 power plant and provide electricity to
900 villages)

• Save up the average electricity bills of Jakarta around Rp 200 million

• Reduce 284 tones of CO2

• Save more than 284 trees

• Produce clean air for more than 568 people
