Every last Saturday of March is the world-wide celebration of Earth Hour celebration. This year, that makes it the 31st, and as you can see in this LCD of Starbucks, there are announcements left and right with the hope of making sure people volunteer an our - from 8:30 to 9:30pm - to have a lights out moment in solidarity with everyone else to show we are aware and serious about conserving energy.
Well this particular year, we were not really able to practice Earth Hour - although, when you think about it... we actually did. How so? Simple... we were watching a movie - Hunger Games, and though we did not intend for this to coincide with Earth Hour, we were able to get tickets for the 7:40pm showing. Doing some mental math, I thought, we'd be inside the theater for the most part of Earth Hour... but would come out and still see it happening around the Greenhills theater. Unfortunately, the movie lasted longer than expected - so by the time we went out, all lights were on. Oh well... at least, all lights were off while we were watching the movie - thus actually practicing Earth Hour.
Then again, should we not want to experience the one hour lights off - watching a movie would be the best reason to go around Earth Hour and still be able to say you were practicing it (while watching the movie). As I was going into the movie... I chose not to bring the DSLR - so I used my Blackberry to take this picture.
