Epi 21: Vote Earth.

From deforestation to global warming, the world's environment is in rough shape. Without substantial disagreement, scientists find human activities are heating our planet. Tackling global warming will be the greatest environmental challenge, but it is possible if almost every nation on Earth participates. Do you wanna make a difference?

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world's first global election, between the Earth and global warming. On March 28, you can VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for one hour (8.30pm to 9.30pm), or you can vote global warming by leaving the lights on.

IT IS REALLY UP TO YOU.

Each of us have a vote, and every vote counts. If you want to make a difference, you will know what is the right thing to do. We want at least one billion votes for Earth, to tell the world leaders and every nation on Earth that we have to take action against global warming.

After casting the vote, what are you going to do? Well, if you cannot imagine how will you last an hour without using electricity, here are 10 things you can do to spend the Earth Hour.

1. Play your musical instruments like guitar.

2. Don't forget fitness. Exercise.

3. Tell ghost stories.

4. Take a COLD shower!

5. Candlelight dinner with your loved ones.

6. Treasure hunt in the dark.

7. Debate whether one hour can trigger social change.

8. Bring your pet for a walk.

9. Play MAFIA. (For those who know the game)

10. Knock on your neighbours' door and ask them to switch off the lights, if you have lots of nerve. =P
