 AFTERMATH EARTH HOUR - Posted By: dotun babayemi

In the highlight of the Earth Hour talk at Laropa Suites, some participants talked much about the erratic supply of power in this part of our world as a major reason why some Nigerians are not participating in Earth Hour.

Well, to an extent, we really agree with that school, but in as much as we still Emmit CO2 from other sources other than energy generated from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, it will be much pertinent for a developing country like Nigeria rise up to the stand up call against Climate Change.

Wherever we live or stay, we are under the same atmosphere with people that live in developed nations. It is one planet, one world and one earth...its our responsibility, even when the lights come, we must learn how to make it sustainable for the future generation.

Let us not forget that one day Nigeria will celebrate a year of uninterrupted power supply, and as a result we will be utilizing a whole lot of energy in achieving this - we should be conscious of the future generation, use energy responsible, thus creating a more cleaner and sustainable future.

 EARTH HOUR IN NIGERIA - Posted By: dotun babayemi

As the lights of Apia, Samoa were turned on once again at 21.30pm local time (08.30 GMT), the citizens of the world reflected on the planet’s largest collective leadership for climate action – Earth Hour 2010.

25 and three quarters hours after the first lights were turned off in Chatham Islands, the world has seen the lights go off on heritage sites, ancient and modern marvels, local cafes, schools, royal and presidential palaces, universities and backyard dinner parties.

A record 126 countries and territories, over 4,000 cities, towns and municipalities and hundreds of millions of people across the globe took part in delivering a powerful action of hope for a better, healthy planet

The Earth Hour Nigeria Team were also part of this big success and we really want to appreciate those that stood by us during the two weeks that preceded the Event. Much thanks to Laropa Suites, Cornsilk & Thistle and the people of 2nd Avenue 21 Road in Gwarinpa Estate, perhaps this is just the beginning...we can lead, take responsibility and change the cause of our living, positively.
