Earth Hour


Just a hour, from 8:30 - 9:30, turn off your lights, 
shut down everything....Let the earth breathe. 

In Bali, I discovered the annual Day of Silence, a Hindu New Year observance during which the entire island shuts down and people are banned from the streets for 24 hours, yes, not a hour, 24 HOURS. The one of the most important religious events for Balinese, called Nyepi. At that day, land and sea transportation to and from Bali would be halted for 24 hours, no work, no TV or radios or cell, no cooking, no lights, and no any activities...You'll start to see the most beautiful nature of things that has been always around you, and you have been ignored. Show you care, show your love, just a hour. Thank you!
