It began in 2007 in Australia, and ever since, it has caught on across the globe. But the question is, “Is switching of the lights for an hour every year good enough?” Keeping the current levels of global warming and environmental issues in mind, it surely does not seem like it.
“The Earth Hour movement has grown globally since then. But it has been called ineffective because it only happens once-a-year. While the sentiment is well-intended critics argue, the outcome might not be as effective as it could be if it was a more consistent, long-term solution”- http://flippies.com/adflipoff/earth-day-goes-mobile/
So, what are you doing beyond the Earth Hour to support the cause of our planet? Little things can make a huge difference. Things like using paper bags instead of plastic ones for shopping, reusing materials whenever you can and using a bucket and mug while bathing instead of the shower can make a huge difference.
The biggest concern today among us all is global warming, and the increasing number of vehicles on the road isn’t helping our cause. But abandoning vehicles is not the solution. Rather, adopting green technology is. The e-zipp is a small effort on our part in that direction.
The electric bike from our stable does not use petrol or diesel, runs on rechargeable batteries and causes zero emissions. We have made a concerted effort to give the people a green ride without compromising on the ride quality. And thankfully, our efforts have yielded results.
Having initiatives like Earth Hour is good, but it’s time we moved beyond the Earth Hour and adopted green ways in our everyday life.
It could be riding the e-zipp to work, switching off lights when not in use, refraining from using bottled water, using manual shavers rather than electric ones or anything else, it all counts. Just consider this- if each one of the 6 billion strong population of Earth took one green step each day, it would 6 billion steps in the right direction.
Let us know how you plan to move beyond the Earth Hour and which green ways you plan to adopt. We will be glad to publish your green story.
