The Hour is approaching – a reason
THE Hour is getting nearer and nearer, and I’m talking about the Earth Hour. The 28th of March 2009, at 20:30, when you should switch off you lights as a sign that show you give a damn about the blue ball you leave on (talking about Earth). You’ve all heard about Global Warming and seen Al Gore preach about what you can do.
Maybe you switch off your light when you leave the room, turn off the water when you brush your teeth, care about whales that commit suicide. But now you can show you care!
What if you really don’t give a crap? What if you would rather go and watch that game on TV and drink beer an shout and kick and so on? Well, my friend, than you are in luck! If you are a guy, this is the perfect chance to pretend to be sensible and give the love of your life a romantic candle-light diner, and maybe you’ll even get lucky. Sounds better then getting pissed off because those overpaid primadonas we call football players lose again, doesen’t it? It doesen’t matter you could care less about the lights, or Willy the penguin, you score double points with one go: romantic dinner + being sensible.
If you are a chick, than just hint to Prince Charming that he could do something romantic. It will probably work. If you already wanted to turn off the lights, than I can only say that you made a wise choice, my friend!
As a disclaimer – maybe you read my previous post about this and it may seem that I’m joking about it, but I’m not. I’ve been a true believer in nature preservation long before the whole Global Warming thing was a blockbuster. It comes natural to me, an my brothers and my parents. It seems logical not to poop where you eat, in a sort of way. Yes, I will turn off the lights tomorow. But this is just a small drop in the ocean. I try to do something for this planet every day. And this is not because I’m generous human being, it’s because I’m a selfish bastard and I would hate to have to go skiing inside a shopping mall in 20 years.
So be selfish and choose right my friends!
By the way I challenge you to come up with other good reasons to turn off the lights on the 28th of March 2009 at 20:30 for 60 minutes!
