Thanks  blue :)  This is a good topic. ^^ 

Let me answer, 

1. Sure,  We  turn off the all lights in big city  1 hour  20.30 - 21.30.

2. I will join this activity too. Usually, I turn off electrical appliance when I don't use them.

3. The government encouraging us to use cloth bag ( I don't how to say in English). Let people don't use plastic bag. 

    Now, The government encouraging automotive  company to product eco - car  which save energy car. 

    This is a low price car because tax fee. Normal car  use fuel about 12 km/ 1 liter. Eco car use fuel about 18 km./      

    liter. 

4. At lease, It can let people pay attention save earth and It can reduce to use fuel.

5. Of cause. I always turn off and plug after use electrical appliances. I avoid to use plastic bag , foam. When I buy things I take all things in one bag. I don't want to separate it to use many bags.

Thanks for sharing the activities to save our Earth in your country.

I think Eco - car is really a great solution.

My country also encourages everyone uses cloth bags instead of plastic bags. Now it seems difficult for us to stop using plastic bags imediately however we should reduce using them gradually and then stop using them. :) In many supermarkets, they have Saving Earth bags, they are made from compounds that is easy to decomposite.

Hi Vero,

Thanks for your comment.

You come from Indonesia - an island nation, I think climate change will affect on your country deeply. Like your country, my country has coastline of 3260km long, we also suffer severe consequences of global warming.

I hope everyone can give a hand to protect the Earth - protect eveyone from deseases, disasters...

I am! I didn't notice Earth Hour in Phuket but I was out and busy all evening. I think a few hotels and restaurants had special events.

Did you do anything special for Earth Hour?

Yes, I did. I turned off all electronic devices (include my mobile phone :) LOL) so I wasn't online in Earth Hour yesterday. :)
