5 days after Earth Hour and we still try as much, and as often as we can to observe the 1 hour lights-off in our home. If we don’t turn off everything, we at least do make an effort to turn off all the major lights and electricity which we don’t quite need.

For me, it feels more relaxed when most of the lights are off as opposed to having most lights on. Not only are we doing something for the environment, we also do get to save a chunk of change from our monthly electricity bills; which is always a motivation to keep doing what we do.

Thinking back to observing Earth Hour last weekend, it did appear that Bangkok was not too bothered by the whole Earth Hour thing. In fact, buildings and roads in the city were very brightly lit for the entire hour  and as I looked around my neighbourhood, I realised that we are probably the only few suckers who would bother with such things.
